You can have 2GB for free physical memory but if you hit the paged pool limit your OS starts hanging.

Are you talking about a .net memory recycle of the application (i.e. web.config or the like) or are you talking about the task manager application?

We use it to archive mail. Once the memory manager hits 300MB (after 3 days of work) It starts crawling when read/writing data. Eventually RPC hangs. I tried telling memory manager to free up more memory at 60/50/40% but that didn’t seem to help.

Solution has been to reboot. And frequently…..
