After re-reading some of the KB articles about the /3GB switch, I'm not
sure if it is supposed to be used in this case.  I'm running a 2003
Standard Edition server, and the only articles I find referencing this
version is for Exchange 2003, otherwise they say not to use this switch.

Should I or shouldn't I?

I remember doing that on a few servers, but don't recall doing it on
that one when I rebuilt it after Xmas.  So, no, probably not.

Hi Dan,

Are you using the /3GB switch?

Thanks, I'll do that tonight and reboot it afterwards.

Do you know if the amount of CPU utilization is directly correlated to
amount of memory allocated?  I have 4GB of physical memory, and it
seemed to be working great with about 1GB in use by the SQL service.
Now that it using a bit more memory, it seems to also be utilizing more
of the CPUs time.

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.
