i have now locked pages in memory using gpedit.msc.

when running the job the pf usage still went up to 2gb even though there was at least 6gb ram still available?

here you go:

• sql server 9.0.3042
• OS: MS windows server 2003 R2, standard x64 ed, sp2
• processor: intel xeon 5140 @ 2.33ghz
• 8gb ram
