Hi Everyone,

Can anybody explain what the term "Target" means dbcc memorystatus. Is this the amount of RAM installed on my box? I get so confused with this term and think it as Target Server memory perfmon counter. From KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/271624/en-us

Target:- The target committed count, or how big the buffer pool would like to be

Can anyone elaborate on this? Also, I have read that when there is low physical memory or low VAS pressure , the Target is recalculated.

Again, on 32-bit sql server box's , if AWE is enabled at SQL Level, will Target gets changed?

Appreciate if anyone can explain the Term "target" by taking some real numbers to make it easy to understand.

Thanks in Advance.
