Total server memory is 64GB, but the OS is showing 61.9GB used,60GB max server memory on a 64GB server is a tad on the high side. OS needs memory to manage memory, I'd dial it back to around 54-56 and monitor available MB (perfmon counter)
Agreed. There is a common practice to only allow 2-4gb for the OS and that practice should be discarded. The more memory you have, the more memory the OS needs to help manage itself (and memory like Gail said).
