Dear All,

I would like to share your experience and views to the following problem:

1. SQL 2005 is running on Intel Xeon E5430 @ 2.67 Ghz (4 CPUs), 3.00 GB of RAM with Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 std edition sp2

2. There are dailly batch jobs and around 20 on line users

3. Every night we re-create and update index statistics

4. The DB is around 12 Gbytes to drive D:

5. Only SQL server is running to the machine


Several days the users are complaining because the system is slow. The performance is not as usual. The tasks everyday are approximately the same.

We run SQL monitor software and we found out that the memory used by SQL is around 2.5 - 2.8 Gbytes. Network utilization and disk activities seem Ok.

Has anybody any suggestions how to identify what bothers the machine and occasionally is slow ?

This should be a good place to identify what is eating resources.

3 GB of RAM ?? Are you in the 90's ???

SQL is using 2.5 to 2.8 GB of RAM which leaves like how much 0.3 to 0.5 GB for OS..

If I remember properly even windows vista needs 1 GB to run properly.Right now problem is not with SQL but server memory.

PBUH
