I run SQL 2005 64bit on a Win2008 R2 Cluster with an active and a passive node. The rdbms hosts one DB at 40 GB and a few more db's at another 20 GB. Total size for all databases sums to 60GB. The windows server RAM size is 24GB. I noticed that when SQL service reaches around 23,3GB of RAM usage, users experience great lags when requesting from the SQL client apps. Last year that the cluster was based on win 2003 R2 32 bit with 4GB of ram, users did have a slower interface but no lags.
Can you help me eliminate the lags?
Thank you
