Differences in memory usage between Windows XP and Windows 2003 server

[Xavi_qsoft]

Good Morning.

I have seen a curious case and I would like if is normal or an error in the configuration of my server.

I have two servers for testing:

1 .- Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition with Service Pack 2
Intel Xeon CPU 2.80Ghz
2 GB RAM

2 .- Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3
1.83GHz Intel Core
3 GB RAM

I use Openedge 10.2A
I have the same database in both servers.

When I start the database in the first server (Windows Server 2003) and watch the memory usage (the process _mprosrv.exe) I see that has occupied 19.404 K.

When I perform the same operation on the second server (windows XP) something similar happens,
I see that the process generated _mprosrv.exe occupies 19.328 K (similar to the first server),
but after 1 minute the memory of that process is reduced to 768 K.

Is normal that Windows Server 2003 consume that memory?

Thanks in advance.

It is normal that different systems report memory usage differently.
