Question(s) about memory management

I'm monitoring a SQL Server 2000 server running on W2k3 and I'm noticing that
the procedure cache is shrinking at an alarming rate and the buffer cache is
growing. This is surprising to me as this is a proc intensive server and I
know SQL Server dynamically manages the memory. My question is there anyway
to change the amount of memory allocated to the proc cache? I went through
books online, but I only saw things relating to setting the min/max memory
amounts but nothing directly related to the type of management that I'm
wanting to do.This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

this is not bad, your queries are well parameterized and also your =SPs,so thousands of querys are using the same plan, the problem is when =you have a large proc cache and a litle data cache.
