Hello!

We have installed SQL Server 2005 64-bit Standard Edition on two node cluster (Windows 2003 EE) with 32GB or RAM. I have limited SQL Server memory usage to 26GB. I am looking at perfmon Target Server Memory (KB) - 27262976 and Total Server Memory (KB) - 3228128 counters under SQLServer: Memory Manager. I am puzzled as to why SQL Server is unable to consume all memory it is 'willing to consume'.
Since this is 64-bit Standard Edition, I can't configure 'lock pages in memory' privilege.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Igor

SQL Server is infact consuming all Server Memory. Do you see any performance issues with STD Edition?

I executed DBCC CHECKDB and Target Memory went up. SQL Server has consumed more memory when there was a need.

Thanks,
Igor
