[WinMac] Large Mac volumes on an NT server

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a formula I can use to calculate how much physical
RAM
I need on an NT server (NT4/SP4) to accomodate a Mac volume of size x? I'm
running into limitations when our server was upgraded from 4G drives in the
array to 9G drives; SFM stopped working. The amount of data didn't change,
just the volume size.

SYMPTOMS
Shortly after you create a Macintosh volume on a partition larger than
approximately seven (7)
GB with a large number of files, the system may crash with a STOP 0x24
error in
NTFS_FILE_SYSTEM (NTFS.SYS).
CAUSE
The AppleTalk protocol driver Afp.sys, depletes the memory pool allocated
to non-paged pool
while indexing a Services for Macintosh (SFM) volume.
To work around this problem, increase the non-paged pool memory available to
kernel or reduce
the number of files on the SFM volume. The amount of non-paged pool
available to kernel is a
fixed value that is based upon the total RAM in the system. If you
increase the RAM you will
increase the non- paged pool available to kernel.
@@@@@@@@@
I'm trying to figure out how much it would cost to upgrade the server RAM
but to do that I
really should know how much more RAM I have to buy. Also, I may run into
the situation
where I'm already maxxed out on RAM.
Any ideas or alternatives would be welcome.
