Restricting .Net CLR memory usage -

ok, here's problem. in our production environment (asp.net) our servers have massive amount of memory massive number of users / sessions. computer has 8 gigs, , i'm user. in production, we're (rarely) getting system.outofmemoryexception.

with background information, here question: possible make clr think have gig of memory or less? iirc, there's command-line option java.

another option make big objects fill memory simulate low memory conditions. requires modifying assemblies , huge objects might cached disk.

recommendations? or other options?

one way simulate lower-memory/resource system create system virtual machine , allocate specific amount of memory want have. both vmware , ms virtual machines have feature.

besides simulation of lower-resource machine vms great way manage test environments.
