Use the performance monitor shortcut in your SQL Server group to check whats
going on. I usually add cpu used, memory available, and pages/sec to the
list. How much memory does the machine have and how much memory is allocated
to SQL Server? Typically, SQL Server likes LOTS of memory. I would recommend
ATLEAST 64mb of memory to it, and another 20-30 for your tempdb in ram.
