[THIN] 64-Bit RAM usages

Guys,

Got a client with vanilla (non-Citrix) Terminal Server running 64-bit W2k3. It’s got 2*dual-core and 8GB RAM. It currently has 23 users on it and showing about 75% RAM and Page File usage. Other than Office, it’s running a not very intensive database (Client). Looking at Task Manager, each instance of Word, Excel, Outlook, etc, is showing as using 120-130MB ram. Compared to our 32-bit OSes, showing 25-30 MB per app.

 

I was expecting some overhead for using 64-bit OS and 32-bit apps, but 400% seems extreme!

 

Am I missing something stupid?
