On 32 bit windows xp, sql server express, I set SQL Server ‘Maximum Server Memory’ to 200 MB, but as soon as I start it, in Sysinternals Process Explorer I still see Virtual Size consumed of 1.5 GB.
Now I know this is no big deal if the Virtual Size is small, but when other applications max out the physical memory (Internet Explorer cough), I then get windows ‘virtual memory too small’ errors, so then I think it does become a problem.
Any ideas?
Behavior by design, per http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=377495. The memory is reserved, but not committed.
