    Umbraco taking up 800 megs of ram - 'System.OutOfMemoryException'

    Umbraco 4.5.2
    Windows 2003 - 3 gigs of ram
    .NET 4.0
    IIS 6.0

    We went live with our new umbraco site about two weeks ago.  So far, it's been great!  We added an e-mail error handler that sends us an e-mail every time an error occurs.  We've been getting System.OutOfMemoryExceptions about once a day.  Everytime that happens everyone on the site looses their session and a bunch more errors get thrown and customers are upset.

    Our site has many sub applications.  Umbraco has it's own application pool but shares it with a few other applications.  The w3wp.exe process gets up to like 800 megs of ram usually (Although right now it's sitting around 500...).

    Does anyone know how to track down the cause of this problem?  We only have about 4 gigs of free space on the server, could that cause the problem with paging?  Does the system.outofmemoryexception mean that we are actually running out of memory or could one of the other applications be causing it?

    We are trying to get funding to get some modern servers but until them I'm stuck debugging this problem. 

    Thanks for the help!

    Thanks.  After a week of searching I JUST found the problem.  One of our 8 developers wrote a report that could return 200,000+ items on the screen.  That killed our server.  We are going to limit that result to a top(100)
