Only 90MB for SQL Server 2005 on a Windows 2003 64bit 12GB System

Hi.
I have a Dell Server with Windows 2003 R2 SP2 64bit ,SQL Server 2005 SP2
(also 64Bit) and 12GB Ram. The Problem is, that the SQL Server Process only
allocates max 90-100MB. That's why big SQLs run very slow.

I checked the setup variables on the managment console and everything seems
to be ok. I don't know how to solve this problem.

Please help!

What does "sp_configu re 'max server memory'" report? And "sp_configu re
'awe enabled'"?

Have you check in Task Manager whether there is any other process that
takes up a lot of memory?

How big are your databases?

awe is enabled but i read, that awe is not important for 64bit. sp_configure
'max server memory' reports 2147483647. no other process takes more than
60mb and there is a lot of memory free (10GB) for the sql server process.
How big are your databases?
the databases are very big. 7GB/9GB/70GB

That's correct. It's not supposed to have any effect at all, but it
does affect something, although I don't recall exactly what.

On 32-bit when you have AWE enabled, and look in task manager, you don't
see the true size of SQL Server, as the AWE memory is not included. Maybe
there is a similar effect on 64-bit? Could you run DBCC MEMORYSTATUS and
post the output?
the databases are very big. 7GB/9GB/70GB
Ehum, 70GB could be called mediums-sized, but it does not really
qualify as "very big". Not that it matter here. Unless the data-access
pattern is very concentrated, it seems unlikely that SQL Server would
not need more memory than 100 MB.

You can force SQL's memory usage by setting minimum and maximum to the
same value (say 10 GB, leaving the other 2 GB for the other processes).

I am running a 32bit VB .Net application in Windows Server 2003 64bit edition. The application uses the function System.IO.File.Exists() to check the existance of a file in the directory "%systemroot%\system32". However, the call always fails becuase WOW64 is redirecting the existance check to "%systemroot%\SysWOW64". Is there any way I can bypass the WOW64 File Redirector?
