[AccessD] Windows 2008 R2 storport.sys issues

[John Colby]

I have a sql server which has a large raid 6 controller.  I have had 
issues forever with very slow processing.  Finally got it back in my 
office and troubleshooting.  I may be too late.  :(

StorPort has a known issue and hotfix where it tries to use memory in 
the lower 4 gb of RAM.  When used with a server such as SQL Server which 
thinks it owns the entire damned computer, Storport.sys runs into memory 
contention issues.  It needs to be modified to allow "64 bitness" and 
use ram above the lower 4 gb.

There was a hotfix.  The hotfix has been removed due to end of life 
issues.  Sigh.

Does anyone know how to get around this and get the updated sys file?
