If you think there is a better site please so indicate. The following is long so please bear with me. I recently installed VS 2005 and DotNetNuke 4.02 (the ASP.NET 2.0 version).

• SQL Server "Too low memory" and XML in cache

  Hi, I've read that the parser can use 1/8th of the available memory for the xml-cache, but I've run into this limit much sooner than I'd expect.
