• Thanks again for answer

    I understand your way to set autogrow "grow by Megabytes", I think I will do this in future too. But this does not solve the reason why the tempDB starts to grow last summer. Is it possible that raising user count and a raising count of Data overall brings this 8GB server to a memory bottleleck?

    To less physical memory seems to cause more use of TempDB. But on the other hand the TempDB Space is almost unused (free).

    I have also seen that TempDB growing only occurs at busineshours, in the night wíth less people working, no growing of TempDB took place.

    So I used DBCC MEMORYSTATUS for the first time. See below. At the moment I try to interpret the output by using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/907877.

    Thanks for Help.
