master sysmessages: Max memory on 32/64 bit

I'm tired of Googling for a definitive answer

What is the max memory SQL Server can access in this setup:
SQL 2000, Enterprise edition, 32 bit
Windows 2003, EE, 64 bit
I'm thinking 32GB from what I've read, but I want to make sure before I tell
my customer what to buy...
Thanks!

|||A leetle confused here:
with AWE enabled on SQL Server and PAE enabled on Windows 2003 64 bit.
64 bit SQL 2000 EE can see 64 Gigs on Windows 2003 64 bit
Seems like the first option there is missing something...
Second option is not relevant to my 32 bit SQL scenario, but good info
nonetheless...
Thanks

|||That doesn't read well - try this
With SQL Server 2000 EE 32 bit with AWE enable running on Windows 2003 64
bit EE with PAE enabled, the data cache can see a max of 32 Gigs.
With SQL Server 2000 EE 64 bit with AWE enable running on Windows 2003 64
bit EE with PAE enabled, the data cache can see a max of 64 Gigs.
Note that the procedure cache and other caches will still see IIRC 2 Gigs
and most of the OS memory will be used with the 64 address windowing.
