Found it:

1 - open a cmd window
2 - type the following:
        osql -E -S %computername%\msfw
        sp_configure 'show advanced options',1 reconfigure with override
        go 
        sp_configure 'max server memory', nnnn reconfigure with override (where 
nnnn is in mb) 
        go
        exit
3 - restart MSDE - note that you'll also have to restart the ISA Firewall 
service manually.

..I'd recommend giving MSDE at least 1/3 physical RAM, depending on how much 
your system actually has.

Subject: [isalist] Memory Consumption Of SQL Server

http://www.ISAserver.org
ISAList,

I have a dedicated Windows 2003/ ISA 2004 (One Gig of RAM) machine and the SQL 
server process is consuming the entire RAM on the machine and even some swap 
space on the disk.  I turned caching on a couple of days ago, however turned it 
off yesterday to try to get my RAM back.  Couple of questions:

1) Is the caching done by the SQL Server process?
2) Does ISA 2004 usually cache so much in RAM that it consumes the entire RAM 
on the machine?
3) If the issue is caching why doesn't turning caching off clear the SQL server 
RAM?  I did specify to have ISA Server restart after turning caching off.
