Determine whether your computer supports application memory tuning by consulting the hardware compatibility information for products in the Windows Server 2003 family, which you can find by clicking the appropriate link in Support resources. Also, contact your vendor for additional compatibility information.

See the hardware compatibility information in Support resources.

Every computer listed has been tested with the maximum amount of memory the computer supports. To ascertain this amount, contact the appropriate vendor. If the amount is 2 gigabytes (GB) or more, and if the computer meets all other requirements, you can use application memory tuning with the computer.

If your hardware is unsupported, do one of the following:

  • Update your hardware.

    If you update your hardware, first back up your system.

  • Or select different hardware on which to enable application memory tuning.
