We have a win 2003 server which is accessed by multiple clients
(around 10) by RDP.
The machine has 4GB memory.
When we start a SAS sort, the performance monitor shows a lot of page
faults, but the machine has still 2GB memory available.

Why does a process experience page faults when there is plenty of
memory free?
