Hi,

Is this 32-bit or 64-bit 2003?

Have you used Task Manager to see which process or processes
have a high amount of committed memory? You can do this by
turning on the VM Size column, View-->Select Columns-->Virtual
Memory Size. There are certain cases where you will not be able
to see a process that is using a large chunk of commited, one example,
if the process creates a section object backed by pagefile, however,
most of the time the VM Size column will be all you need to find the
hogs.

Just for your reference, the PF Usage number is not the amount
of the page file that is in use. You did not say that, but I thought I
would mention it since many people get confused.

Thanks.
