I have got the same problem, its showing over 200 % utilization of memory, but actually windows monitoring showing less than 70 %.

Any CLUES

I see this on linux boxes too (2.4.x), 178% used at the moment.

Application Monitor is even worse, it doesn't take into account shared memory:
name/num copies/cpu%/memory use/mem%
fooprog 39 copies are running 20 % 30.3 GB 3083%

This is due to Microsoft combining physical and virtual memory as one figure for usage.

For 2003 servers, monitor Phyical Memory under volumes instead. You should find it is more accurate.

Something I might toy around with if I get the chance, is moving the 2003 SNMP files onto a 2000 box to see if it sorts it out. (Worked moving 2000 to NT previously)
