Hie,
When i restrict the memory of the db in property dialog box, the process sqlserv.exe increase his memry above this limit why ?Have you enabled AWE? That pretty much circumvents the normal Windows process management, mostly because that is exactly what it is supposed to do!
Even if you haven't enabled AWE, the server responds to its environment. If large blocks of RAM are not being used, then the OS can elect to dynamically ease the restrictions on an application that is memory starved (which happens fast with a busy SQL Server).
