I know the scenario will be the same, but the outcome we're looking to achieve is to NOT have this problem on our main server..

Thank you SO much for the explanation. I will try to limit the RAM from the Sql instance, on the server. Silly question.. what can I limit the SQL to? The Server is using the SQL db- not something we're using, third party like...

Honestly? No problem really, besides the fact of the Ram usage.. The craziest thing is.. right now we're using about 20.4gb (out of 24) of ram..but if we reboot the pc, it goes down to like 8gb.. then over the course of a week or so, it goes up and up.. So we're a bit worried.

Good morning! Server specs: OS: SBS 2008 r2, vm 24gb of ram 3tB of space 12 core Xeon x5650 @ 2.67 Problem: 83% memory load, sqlservr.exe using 5.6gb ram sqlservr.exe *32 using 1.5gb of ram ..Can I create another VM that runs JUST SQL server? Will that have any benefit to my problem? Thanks in advance =)
