No that may not do what you want. The Min setting states that when SQL
Server grabs that much it will not release any below that amount back to the
OS. If Exchange gets the memory first then Sql Server may never reach the
MIN value. The only way to grab it and hold it right off the bat is to use
the Fixed amount. And if Exchange is that much of a hog it may never
release any back to Sql Server so the MAX setting would be useless.
