Large Page Extensions

Hello
After a reboot on my SQL Server 2000 64 bits the following message appeared
on the Errorlog:
Cannot use Large Page Extensions: Failed to allocate 32MB
I searched Google and the Books On-Line but found nothing about it.
Could someone point to me some documentation about that message? Or explain
what does it means?
Thanks

On 64-bit platforms, SQL Server makes use of the 'large page' API support
provided by the operating system. You can read more about it here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...e_support.asp.
The error you're receiving is hinted at in the article, but is due to the
fact that SQL Server cannot get a contiguous region of 32 MB for the large
page region.
Hope that helps.
