Memory Pressure Question

SQL Server 2000 SP4 w/ build 2187 running on OS Windows 2003 SP1.
Active/Passive cluster with two nodes. AWE enabled.
We are experiencing memory pressure problems with errors such as
"unable to reserve contiguous memory" and "insufficient memory
available" which lead to fail over. I've researched causes and
applied corrections and/or recommendations accordingly. However,
there are questions regarding linked servers that I cannot find an
answer to. I've identified two queries in object cache using linked
server whose compiled plan exceeds 8K which overflows into the
MemToLeave and on to the linked server whereby linked server is known
to have memory leaks for plans exceeding 8K.
Question 1: Is the linked server 8K limitation for the query plan only
or does this mean the result set is also affected by the 8K
limitation?
Question 2: Will setting the packet size in the provider string
control the size of the query plan passed to linked server and if
applicable, control the size of the result set?You mention a fialover , so on the other node it workes fine?
Or do you have the same problem.
Sorry , not a direct answer to youre question.
