Microsoft exchange server 2010 Memory usage

I am looking for a feel on how much memory exchange 2010 will use. My server has 16 GB, we have about 90 mail boxes. The task manager is saying it is is using 95% which I am sure is to high. But I don't know if Exchange is taking it because it is there or if I need to add more memory. We also use this server as a file server for storing data, not expecting this to require that much resources other than disk space.

What do you mean it would overload the server? We are experiencing long delay on incoming mail, could this be related to the memory usage?

Thanks for the help, I will watch it.
Hi,

Exchange will always utilize high memory. This is by design

You might have observed that only one process is having max of share and i.e. "Store.exe"

Microsoft design this in a way that rather than asking\looking for free memory at the point of requirment it will occupy max of the memory on safer side and would release it at the point of requirment

If, my friend,  "Store.exe" is not the one in your case then you have to closely monitor
your Exchange and find out the culprit
