Craig,

My Win 98 seems to get by with 64MB just fine on the MII 333.

But when I loaded Win 2000 server on a machine with 64MB of memory (Pentium 166), the machine is not a happy camper. MSFT specified 64MB as absolute minimum for server version, 128MB recommended.

But it runs for now, until the last part of my new server (with 384 MB of RAM) arrives.

If you think about it, it's not bad if you have the file server itself with DHCP server, DNS server, Proxy server and SQL server and IIS all running inside 64MB of RAM.

Joe

PS:
Don't you hate it when you order number of parts from a reputable company necx.com by ground and they all arrive in 3 business days. But 2 parts from total assholes: paragoncomp.com be 2nd day FEDEX (suspecting from previous experience that they are assholes) are still not here.

PPS: I don't know if anyone can make any sense out of the memory usage monitoring tools in all versions of windows. It all comes down to hearing your hard drive read/write when don't think it should. That's when you know that:
a) you are swapping, you could use more RAM
b) MSFT disk caching is not very good
c) something is going on with registry - meaning you will never know what's going on and how to fix it.
