I sent a reply to this previously but it hasn't appeared in the list so I'll try again...

The settings that I am questioning are as follows:
DefaultDbCachePages = 16384
LockMemSize=16777216
LockSemCount=256

What would be reasonable values for these? It appears that since this is a Classic server that it is set to try and allocate all 16GB of memory right away which would obviously cause problems.

Thanks,
Ryan
