2008 Memory Usage vs. Windows 2003


is normal see twice amount of memory being used when viewing task manager in windows 2008 vs. 2003? instance on windows 2008 wsus server servicing 300 nodes memory usage 1024mb assigned (vm on esx 3.5) around 900mb in task manager. on windows 2003 server identical configuration (including software, etc) hovers @ around 250mb in task manager. can away running 2003 installs 512mb allocated , performance still great.

so biggest question here is, design 2008 allocate more memory static mapping state 2003 performance reasons or overhead of 2008 higher?

this 1 example of see 2008 using twice or 3 , 4 times memory 2003 does, in task manager @ least.


thanks
