How does Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard edition decide which memory to use?


we have hp proliant dl160 g6 2 quad-core processors. os windows server 2008 r2 standard edition. upgraded 12gb of memory (6 x 2gb) 48gb of memory (6 x 8gb). each processor has 24gb  (3 x 8gb) available it. have learned windows server 2008 r2 standard limits amount of usable memory 32gb.

how windows operating system decide 32gb use?

does use 24gb connected cpu1, , limit cpu2 8gb?

does limit both cpu1 , cpu2 using 16gb each?

thanks!

hello,

this question belongs more hp. afaik each processor use half of ram. each processor requires ram easy remove half each processor side , should still work. removing ram 1 processor complete may result in problems.
