How much RAM can be dedicated to a single process?

[dprello]

Hi.

I'm trying to troubleshoot a problem. If anyone can explain this to me, I'd appreiate it.

I have a program (IBM TSM) on a server which has a memory issue. My question is, how much memory can be allocated to a process? in Windows 2000? In Windows 2003?

Any reference material out there explaining this?

Thanks in advance

Windows makes a full 4GB available to every program.

"All processes (e.g. application executables) running under 32 bit Windows gets virtual memory addresses (a Virtual Address Space) going from 0 to 4,294,967,295 (2*32-1 = 4 GB), no matter how much RAM is actually installed on the computer."
