Memory Utilization

Guys,
I have a server running MS-SQL SP3. The server configuration is a Dual-Xeon
2.4Ghz, with 4GB RAM. The server is reserved for running SQL Server, so he
can use the whole memory for the SQL Server service...
Just as a 2GB server that I had before, monitoring with Task Manager I see
that the memory utilization don't grow up more than 1,84gb... Even with huge
processing and disk reading... So my question is, is there any kind of
special configuration that you must set to let server use the whole memory?
I know about AWE, but I thought AWE is just for servers who break the 4GB
boundary... Would like to know why the memory utilization don't go upper than
1,84gb, even setting this as a fixed value in Server configuration...
Thx,
Rafa
Hi,
What edition of SQL Server you are using? Only Enterprise or Developer
editions of SQL server supports more than 2 GB memory.
Sheck the version of SQL Server using
Select @.@.version

Try /3gb switch in boot.ini

/PAE within boot.ini.
You will then probably want to specify the memory usage within SQL Server

Why would you use the /PAE and AWE switches if his server only has 4 GB RAM.
Those settings are for servers with more than 4GB.

Memory Reserve

Hi All
I just want to know when some queries has completed on SQL 2000 whether the
memory that reserved for it will release after completion the process.
In current sql server which Im using having major issue with memory usage.
It is catching memory when some process is happening, but it won't release
that memory even after hours of that process took place.
Please send some advise
Thaks in advance
JanakaReleasing the memory after a query has executed would defeat the whole purpose of caching data. We
do not want that. I suggest you investigate the issue further and see if it is a real problem to you
(how do you determine that the behavior of SQL Server is a problem), and if for instance setting a
max for memory solves your problem. Have a look at
