High memory usage
Hi,
I have an sbs2003 server which has 3GB of RAM and a max page file of 4GB.
The server appears to be running slow, and I have looked at the task manager and the memory usage and page file is very high. Is there anything I can do? Or does it need more physiscial memory? Is this 32bit OS going to make use of 4GB or more of memory?

32 bit systems can do up to 4GBs of ram, the only way I think of getting it to move faster is to upgrade to 4GBs of ram

Will try restarting the server and then think about more memory.

More memory is not an option with 32-bit windows - 4Gb is the maximum you can install and it usually only sees about 3.5Gb of that anyway.
A server reboot is a short-term solution. Long-term - not much to do. The store will eat up memory.
