Sql 2000 High memory usage

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know why the sql server uses a ton
of memory. I just read an article at Microsofts
Faq. They memtioned its by design.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

I am running windows 2000 server svc pack 3.
sql server 2000 standard edition.
Also running as a client server on the same box
are:
1. Veritas Backup
2. Goldmine60 (sql version)
3. Trendmicro office scan

Any setup or configuration ideas would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks
Tony Cruz
