Have you installed Server 08 yet? I have a "print server" that runs Server 2003, and all this VM does is connect to network printers, and share them in Active Directory. Task Manager PF Usage reports 110 MB. Physical Memory (K) reports the following: Total 392648 / Available: 238016 / System Cache: 180632
Now I'm sure that if I wasn't logged into view Task manager, I'd probably see even better numbers. My Server 2008 VM, with nothing installed (default MS installation) was eating up about 440 MB in the pagefile ... I have it performing various services now (logged in, acting as just a Terminal Server gateway, it uses over 800MB of the pagefile). I would venture to say, that using the default Server 200x installations, Server 2003 does indeed have a (much) smaller memory footprint.

From my experience, it is more likely that you have too little on a server OS initially than too much. Also, like I said, I find it highly unlikely that Server 08 has a higher footprint than Server 03.
