I understand that the ISAPI module w3wp.exe (32bit) can handle 4GB of RAM.
Question. I have an application that has over a million lines of code and am NOT considering conversion to 64bit model.
So with that in mind, if i have 20 users logged in, there is about 2GB. It's about 100MB per user. There's a lot of data that is preloaded into ram to make it much faster. Otherwise the system is slow. So the 100MB per user is needed.
Does that mean it can only handle about 40 users (4GB)??? OR DOES THE ISAPI system do clever smart things like SPAWN another w3wp.exe to allow more users(more ram).
Or, am i now constrained to only about 40 users?
Thanks
