According to my notes for SQL Server 2005

Set 'Maximum Server Member (In MB)' to 1 GB less then the amount of RAM on the Server.

Example: 32 GB – 1 GB = 31 GB * 1024 = 31,744 MB, then round it to the nearest thousand

Is this correct? Any other feedback?

In our SQL Server Monitoring Performance tool (Spotlight), below are some alarms, I see some of the following alarms. Any comments? I am trying to get this SQL Server to run more efficiently.

Thanks for any feedback. PLEASE CORRECT MY ABOVE NOTE IF IT IS INCORRECT!
