Just a note: For 64bit systems you will need Enterprise edition to use the Lock pages feature. – StanleyJohns Mar 10 '12 at 19:24

@StanleyJohns not true, there is a trace flag for Standard Edition as well, it just won't do it by default. For the OP please read simple-talk.com/sql/database-administration/…, sqlserverperformance.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/… and blogs.msdn.com/b/psssql/archive/2009/04/24/… – Aaron Bertrand Mar 10 '12 at 23:13
