You're full of crap. That's a perfectly acceptable hardware configuration, assuming the unstated configuration (drives and processors) are reasonably well configured.
The physical memory usage is per spec - its Dynamic Buffer Allocation. Frazer - get a copy of Paul Robichaux's Managing Exchange book from O'Reilly press. Look at the Performance Optimizer section dealing with the Verbose mode. It should answer your questions. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
