To start off, I'm a PC guy, not a server guy so this may be normal but we had a server built for us a little over a year ago. Things seemed to slow down a bit a few months after it was built so I checked it's performance logs and it's showing that 98% of the 8 Gig of RAM we have in there are being consumed. I know this is not normal at the PC level. I called and asked the guy that built the server if this is normal and he said "Yes, Server 08 grabs it all but releases some if required.

He just sent me an email saying he is getting messages from the server that the RAM is saturated and we should buy more RAM. I just checked the logs again and it's still at 98%, just like when I asked him a while back but now he wants to sell more RAM.

Get the feeling like we are getting pounded slightly here.

In a nutshell....is this normal RAM useage for Server08?
