Hi,
Since a few weeks, our SQL server (2005 64 bits Standard Edition running on Windows 2003 DataCenter) has some issues performance wise. A few times a weeks the dataserver become very slow even unresponsive. I found in the event log the following entry:
A significant part of sql server process memory has been paged out. This may result in a performance degradation. Duration: 14419 seconds. Working set (KB): 47888, committed (KB): 161528, memory utilization: 29%%.
Since we are using the standard edition, we can’t use the Lock pages in memory user right. I have no idea what to do next. Can someone has a good workaround?

There is a great post on your problem exactly here - http://weblogs.asp.net/omarzabir/archive/2007/10/19/a-significant-part-of-sql-server-process-memory-has-been-paged-out-this-may-result-in-performance-degradation.aspx
Please reply and comment as to whether it was useful and fit your situation. There are several links there to MS articles as well so, be sure to check them out as part of your TS.

How much memory on the server? What's SQL's max memory set to? Are there other apps on the server?

Currently the server had 16GB of memory and 8gb are assigned (as min & max) to SQL server. As of now, there is no other application running in the server.
This is a fresh installation on a new hardware. I found this a bit scary.

Is the min and max memory set to the same value? If so, please change that, there's a problem whereby if they are identical then some of SQL's memory management abilities are unavailable. If max is 8GB, set the min to 7.

Rem,
Can you post sqlserver version info (sp/cu) ?
Gail,
Do you have a kb ref for the min = max memory config problem ?

I don't. It was mentioned in a presentation. I'll see if I can find a ref for you.

The hardware has 8 CPU (Hyper-Threading). CPUs 0 to 5 are Processors Affinity while 6 to 15 are I/O Affinity (because I was seeing entry like this on e in the log "The time stamp counter of CPU on scheduler id 14 is not synchronized with other CPUs")
Is it OK to have the HT setup for a SQL server? I saw somewhere that it is not recommended, is it right?
I have set the max memory at 8gb for the SQL and the min to 0 (as mentioned above).

To the best of my knowledge, Hyperthreading is not recommended for SQL Server.
