Are there any *negative* consequences to SQL Server 2000 Standard
paging to disk more often if one reduces the amount of available RAM
from 2.0 GB to 1.5 GB to give the OS and other apps enough RAM, other
than things possibly being "slower" and whatever wear and tear could
happen to the disk drives??

Or is it better to add in more RAM per se to bring the server up to 4
GB (Win2k3 Svr SP1)?? (it has a 4GB pagefile)

Is any information available about judging how much RAM the OS (Windows
2003 Server) should have available?? Does IIS require a lot of RAM??

Thank you, Tom
