Buffer Manager on SQl server

I am monitoring my SQL Server. If the server has 2gig of
physical ram and SQL server memory is 1.6G and the SQL
Servver Buffer Manager cache hit ratio is 99, is that
good? If not, what configuration can be done? The server
is very slow at themoment. Thank you.

Friends,
I just thought I should post this from sp_configure so you
can see how the memory is configured for sql server. It
is set to dynamically configure sql server memory - but
when I run performance monitoring it shows that sql server
consumes too much memory. Please take a look and let me
know if I need to reduce the amount of sql memory or some
key buffer and sort buffer configurations? Thank you very
much.

>|||Those numbers are pretty good. SQL is using as much memory as is available
(2GB minus some for OS, overhead, etc. 1.6 is about right). 99% Buffer
cache hit ratio is also good. Until that gets under 95% or so, adding
memory likely won't give a noticable performance boost.
It looks like memory isn't your performance problem. Here is a good
starting point for finding out why your server isn't responding as well as
you need it to.
