Sounds like you recall correctly, because only last week I researched this (again, 'cos I'd forgotten) and a Compaq document stated 150Mb for a SG, 10Mb for a database.

That's just to get the system started. Once the dynamic buffer caching starts growing the allocation to hold the "active" data, it's more. As Chris said, fragmentation of memory starts to become a problem. If you ever shut down one of the stores or SG's for any reason on a system that fully loaded, you may not be able to start it back up without a full restart. ======================================================= Andy Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.swinc.com Simpler-Webb, Inc.

I currently have 4 storage groups and a max of five stores per storage groups. If I try to add another store Exchange complains saying "the Storage Group already contains the maximum number of stores allowed." If I try to add another storage group I get a message from Exchange complaining - This server already contains the maximum number of storage groups allowed. Can someone explain this to me.
