iis config ?

i have about 20 or so sites which is hosted a server that has w2k3 web
edition and 640 megs of ram. I also have .net 1.1 and now 2.0 for certain
sites and i have split the versions of .net sites into sperate application
pools so there's no problems. On this server, i started noticing that alot of
ram is being ate up and leaving the server with about 129 or less of memory
what can i do prevent this?

P.s adding more ram not really an option because this server will be
replaced before the end of 06.

You can open the IIS manager, and to the application pools, you start
allocating websites to application pools. However, by default, this is
already allocated as a ' default pool '. and .NET 2.0 has another
application pool

You can limit some memory, using these settings. But I really think, that
you should think about more memory. Never believe the '640K memory should be
sufficient' myth

You also can save some memory by disabling unnecessary processes and by
logging off the console (that uses at +/- 128 MB)
