Hi ,
         Is there any cap on maximum memory that can be assigned to tomcat
on 32 bit Windows machines ? I have found out that even if we have 8GB
memory in the server , can not assign more 1.4/1.5 GB to Tomcat . I also
found this thread which reinforces what I have been seeing ? We are using
Tomcat 7.0.19 .

www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=48793

In any event, a 32bit JVM (1.6, I don't know for lower VMs) cannot
allocate more than 3 GB heap space.

"With so much RAM, why do you still use a 32bit OS and JVM" is the
question here.

Another question to ask is, why do you have 8GB memory when running 32bit? That is just stupid since 32bit cannot address more than 4GB of memory no matter what you do. Any sysadmin should know that right?

disclaimer: I'm not a sysadmin, if I'm wrong please teach me :)
