Memory CAP

  • I have 16 Gb of memory in my box and I have 2 sql instances,  How should I cap memory in these two like 6 GB each or can I allocate 12 GB to each instance.
    Need some input.

  • No idea. How busy are each of them? How much data do they work with?

    if i were you i will look at cache usage by each database, Top 20 commands and if majority are BCP/Bulk inserts or data modifications i will do the opposite way.
