SQL all of a sudden is eating near all my memory in my server. I have 12GB and it's using 60% of the memory in the server, slowing it down. I know it is normal behavior in SQL by default. I set the max to 3500 as suggested but it's no working. Most fixes I saw was for 32 Bit as well. Can someone tell me the proper config on getting SQL to not hog all the memory? Thanks in advance.

You set the max memory to 3500MB? That's a little over 3 GB. What else is running on the server? You may need to restart the sql service if this is really what you want.
