Memory, Available Bytes

I'm using a performance console system monitor to observe memory performance
of a Win 2K server, running 2K SQL server.
The available bytes indicates less than half of the system's total physical
memory of
4 gig. Could this be a possible indication of a memory leak. What, if any
possible
solutions are available. Thanks to everyone for being there to help.Hi
If the Server has 4GB RAM, and is Enterprise Edition of Windows 2000, is the
/3GB flag set in boot.ini ?
If not, only 2GB of the possible 3GB is presented to applications. The other
1GB is always reserved for the OS.
If it is Standard Edition of Windows 2000, supported is only 2GB of the 4GB.
