[PVE-User] Excessive Memory usage Windows 2008 and Proxmox 2.0

[Holger Ernst]

I dont understand why you would want to prevent the guest to use the ram you assign to him. Why shouldn't your windows server use all the memory it sees? It does caching and things with it. I mean, you payed for the ram, why dont you want to use it?

Regards Holger
