Windows Server 2003 64bit

[JohnTNavi]

Hello all, I just completed my first 64 bit server with SQL 2005 64bit
SP2 installed> I noticed that the Physical Ram is always consumed and
the paging file is at 50% most of the time. IS this OS supposed to use
all the physical ram? any insight you can provide is appreciated.

Hey John,

You might want to check which exact service is using the most RAM. Also how
many RAM do you have installed?

checked everywhere. the server has 5 gigs of ram and it is all being
used.
