I just heard that the memory limit for IIS applications under win 64 is only
8 gig. Can somebody confirm this? Deny this?

Thanks!

The memory space available for *any* process on a 64-bit OS is as
follows:

32-bit Process:
2GB (If the 3GB switch is enabled, this increases to 3GB)

32-bit Process compiled with /LARGEADDRESSAWARE:
4GB

64-bit Process:
8TB (That's 8 terrabytes)

I suspect that whomever told you this mistook 8TB for 8GB, but it's
important to realize that this depends on a 64-bit process and not a
32-bit process running on WOW64.
