Peter,

Thanks for the response.  I have our network guy looking into that
avenue for me.  Just another question though, from the perspective of
performance, will the x64 yield much better performance for this type of
thing over x32?  Obviously it will from a systems standpoint but is it
evident from an end user perspective?

Thanks,
Tony Fountain

You'll need the 64-bit JVM - and a 64-bit OS!  Other than that, 1.5G is
about as large a contiguous heap as Java can allocate in the 32-bit
Windows address space.  Windows reserves the upper 2G for itself and its
DLLs, and there are some other bits'n'pieces in the lower 2G that
fragment it.

If your 2k3 server is already 64-bit, a simple change of JVM will do the
job.  Otherwise, you have a reinstall on your hands.

                - Peter
