Anyone knows how to do it? It seems that there is no option at all to limit that memory grabby file cache to say max of X MB.

No - I am talking about dynamic file cache (shown as System Cache) in task manager in Performance Tab - say right now it shows I got total of 2 GB of RAM, but 1.2 GB is available, and whopping 1.1 GB is used for system cache - I want to limit system cache on server because I have got fine tuned file caching in my big application.
It looks like there is no way to limit it ffs, can't believe they did not provide maximum value for itComment

Try this - I would hazard a guess it will work with w2k but not sure about w2k3:

Just tried - it does not work I am afraid: system cache declared by the task manager is a LOT bigger than shown by this utility.Comment
