Store.exe Eating up Memory

I have an exchange server 2007 with all updates except for rollup 6.  The
server has 8GB of ram in it.  The store.exe is eating up over 3GB of memory. 
Is this normal?  If it is not, what can be done so that store.exe does not
use so much memory?

Is it causing you problems?
Exchange likes to maximum memory usage, so , yes, normal.

I think I'd look into why it's not "eating" more RAM.   Exchange 2007 will
allocate about 90% of available RAM to db cache by default.  When other
processes need memory, or make a call to allocate contigous memory, then the
working sets of other running processes get trimmed.  If you trim the
store.exe working set too much, you end up with insufficient db cache and
performance suffers.  You may want to look at the procces working set
counter for each instance to see what's up.
