BO XI 3.1 and Windows 2003 server enterprise 32bit

We had memory constraint when using Tomcat, windows 2K SP2 standard edition, where we cannot go beyond the 1024K.
So tried installing weblogic, where I can increase the memory up to 1.5G.
I want to test using Windows 2003 server enterprise 32 bit version and weblogic. I see that the RAM we can use is upto 32G.
I believe I can set the java options to more than the 2G, I am trying to validate from the group before I invest more time on this.
I see posts that there are issues using 64 bit version of windows 2003, so trying to use the 32 bit enterprise version of windows.
Question: How much max memory I can use using the Java options in the weblogic startup when using the 32 bit enterprise version of windows?
set MEM_ARGS=-Xms1572m -Xmx1572m

Thanks

The max heap shouldn’t be more than the amount of physical memory you have in your server, and probably shouldn’t even be more than half of the physical memory.

The main reason I need lot of memory is due to live office erroring out when retrieive lots of rows with Jave heap error. BO support tells us that constraint the query, thats not a viable option.
So the only way, I can increase the memory is to switch to a much more scalable application server like Weblogic and looks like I have to use the 64 bit version of 2003 server, to get the max memory for RAM.
the 32 bit version constraint to 4G for RAM and the I can go to the maximum of 1572m only.
Moderators: Please dont move to the Live office discussion,
I would like to be in the server discussion topic rather than the Live office topic as I wanted to see how BO servers are setup with Live office working.

Thanks
