Take the 2-minute tour ×  I recently found out, that a server
got a 32 bit installation of SQL Server 2012 rather than 64bit,
and it is running out of memory now.  Can I have this 32 bit
installation use more memory using locked pages?  I do not know
much about this. I've read this
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2659143/en-us bit I am still not
clear if this will help, what needs to be done etc
share|improve this question How long are you going to fight this
thing, instead of doing the right thing and installing a proper,
64-bit instance? –  Aaron Bertrand Dec 15 '13 at 16:00 32 bit
still exists in serverland? –  swasheck Dec 16 '13 at 2:31 we
had trouble getting a 64 bit version on time, but we made it. –

accepted   In the past, my answer would have been (a heavily
qualified) "yes".  Using AWE (address windowing extensions)
would enable up to 64GB memory. Unfortunately (from your point
of view, perhaps) 32-bit AWE was removed from the database
