Processors utilization will always be low when you have disk bottlenecks
since it is always waiting on the disk before it can do much. And there is
no way memory utilization is normal with figures like that. That may be
normal for your app but certainly not normal for a well tuned app.

your queries are scanning tables instead of using proper indexes. You
don't
have a lot of memory so the constant disk access is evident in these
numbers
showing very poor disk utilization. Why are you using Enterprise edition
if
you only have 4GB of memory? I would opt for more memory and tune your
worst performing queries to reduce the IO.

mY SQL SERVER 2005 is very slow especially for seelct queries and i
checked
the perfmon counters
the values rea as follows

%disk time =4000
buffer cache hit ratio =90
avg disk sec/transfer .25avg disk secs\read =0.1
current disk que lenth =140
mem pages/sec =very low

disk is raid 1o with 6 disks
memory 4 gb

hI gUYS,
This problem startedreccently only.it was working fine . further more there
are no queries which is reading more than 5000 reads.application is highly
optimized.
is ther any chance for cable loose connection or faulty cables with SAN
array?\
