how mutch memory aspnet_wp.exe must use

[ruca]

Hi gurus,

Can anyone tell me please when I really must setup the value of memory that
aspnet_wp or w3wp must use in IIS server machine?

What I mean is that we have clients that have diferent specificatiosn in
their server machines that have IIS to runnning WebApplications . This can
change for example in RAM memory that is available. One have 1GB, other 2GB
and another 4GB. I.e., how can I know when I must change any configuration
in machine.config or even in IIS (at this case only in version 6.0) to limit
the memory that ASPNET process must use. I know the default value is 60% of
memory RAM, but is this ok in a 1GB memory RAM machine as it is ok in a 2GB
or 4GB memory RAM machine. Personally I don't think, but when can I change
this value?

I'm asking this because I have a client that have 2GB RAM and the aspnet
process grows until 1,3GB and then recycle (after some days of use, there
are 1800-2000 users using application). The problem is that this client have
other applications working there and the server not response efficiently to
requests when the process have this value. I should say that my WebApp use a
COM on some pages object and for that I'm using ReleseComObject . I should
say too that this WebApp is installed in a CLUSTER (may be this have
implications, I don't know).
I already run Profilers, windows performance for aspnet_wp, and mutch
more...

What do you sugest to do? Do I must limit the memory value that aspnet
process use to some value?
Where can I get more information of this (if possible from microsoft) to
present?
