Microsoft Windows memory support

You may wish to add memory to your system to maximize the performance benefits of VxCache. Although the maximum amount of memory that can be allocated to VxCache is 4 GB, you should also consider the memory requirements of other applications running on your system to determine the amount of memory to add.

The following table shows the maximum amount of memory supported by each version of the Microsoft Windows Sever 2003 and Windows Server 2008 operating systems.
