[dba-SQLServer]SQL2K memory usage

I had no SPs installed - just default installation. I updated to SP3 
and that seems to be an improvement. I have been using 
dynamic memory allocation. I will assume this is now resolved for 
my case but will reply if I continue to see these memory spikes.

Thanks for your suggestions. Regards, Stephen
