Interesting!

I know that Mike Grover is running a 250Gb+ FB database under Win32
without any problems (I'm almost sure that he's running W2K)...

Having said that, there is something about the 'near' 200Gb size that
has caused other problems for some users -- "resources exhausted" rings
a bell.

Perhaps this problem is an NT specific issue -- there is a difference in
the way that NT and W2K manage paged/non-paged memory.
