| | Hyper V: virtual machine will not accept memory more than 4 GB I have Dell Power edge server 2950 with quad Core Processor and 32 GB RAM, Win 2008 64bit Server and Latest Hyper V Final Release. The virtual machine is running Windows 2003 SP2 Std Edition. I have assigned 8192 MB (8GB) RAM to this machine but this machine can only read 4GB. What am I doing wrong?. How can I make my virtual machine use all RAM assigned? Thank you, Mavi |

To use more, you'd have to be running the 64 bit version. -- Jane, not plain  64 bit enabled :-)Batteries not included. Braincell on vacation ;-) MVP - Windows Desktop Experience |

| | Re: Hyper V: virtual machine will not accept memory more than 4 GB The limitation is entirely in the operating system being installed. 32-bit Windows Server Standard is limited to 4 GB. Period. 32-bit or 64-bit Enterprise can use more, or 64-bit Standard can use more. But 32-bit Standard is limited to 4 GB. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "mavi" <mavi@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8C900B62-BA4A-4816-AEE8-B6F037DCF620@xxxxxx Quote: >I have Dell Power edge server 2950 with quad Core Processor and 32 GB RAM, > Win 2008 64bit Server and Latest Hyper V Final Release. > The virtual machine is running Windows 2003 SP2 Std Edition.
