My asp .net application crashes atleast once in a day.. throwing
OutOfMemoryException.. Server was running without when it had only 2
GB. It started throwing OutOfMemory exceptions when RAM was upgrated as
3 GB. This happened twice in a week. Again we did an upgrade in ram and
now the size is 4 GB, ASPNET Worker process throws up exception once in
a day.

Does anyone have any idea on this ?

Thanks,
Mani.

Yes, you're actually getting the errors because you have too *much* physical
ram. Processes can only address up to 2gb of ram (and they'll through out or
mem errors around 1.6-1.8), so your default config with 3-4gb of ram will
give you out of mem errors for ASP.NET.

You can set memory limits for your app pool, enable /3gb switch, and/or
reduce the memoryLimit value in machine.config.

Sorry for the brief synopsis, but go here for more info
