[QUOTE="craigparris1, post: 279695, member: 75254"] Hi Pinguy, Guzzi is correct - you can definitely configure the maximum memory used by SQL Server, if you do have concerns about the amount of memory used. However, as Guzzi also points out, SQL will endeavour to use as much memory as is available to ensure data is cached, to minimise the need to go to the page file/disk. To be honest, I'm only just starting on my journey with MediaPortal, so can't speak from experience about how much memory SQL would ordinarily be using on a HTPC (it is very much dependant on the number and size of databases), however I do work with SQL every day, and SQL 2005 is definitely a reliable (and very configurable) database engine. I'd suggest - if you haven't done so already - that you install the latest SQL 2005 service pack to get the most out of it. Overall, though, for those of us who are happy to continue using SQL, I'd hate them to take it away as an option from MediaPortal. Cheers, Craig [/QUOTE]
