[THIN] Re: 64-Bit RAM usages

Hi Nick,

 

I’d say you have a bottleneck somewhere – we have dual core, 8gb boxes and are getting are lot more  than that,  Are you talking about Office 2007, as there is a huge CPU hit with it, almost double.

Also what is your page file set to – you should be using 12gb.

 

Also we found outlook was the biggest killer for the box, we found and installed this hotfix “office-kb948950-fullfile-x86-glb.exe” which has dramatically improved performance.

 

Also ensure you have office sp1 installed.

 

Hope some of this helps.

 

 

Regards

Daniel Barichello

Subject: [THIN] 64-Bit RAM usages

 

Guys,

Got a client with vanilla (non-Citrix) Terminal Server running 64-bit W2k3. It’s got 2*dual-core and 8GB RAM. It currently has 23 users on it and showing about 75% RAM and Page File usage. Other than Office, it’s running a not very intensive database (Client). Looking at Task Manager, each instance of Word, Excel, Outlook, etc, is showing as using 120-130MB ram. Compared to our 32-bit OSes, showing 25-30 MB per app.

 

I was expecting some overhead for using 64-bit OS and 32-bit apps, but 400% seems extreme!

 

Am I missing something stupid?

 

 

Nick
