Memory consumption keep increasing,and much larger than sga+pga

Hi,

     Recently,we migrated our Oracle database to a new machine.It's Windows server 2003 x86 ,oracle 10g before

     Now the database is on Windows server 2003 x64,still 10g.

     In new machine:

          sga_max_size is set to 3000MB,sga_target is set to 3000MB

          pga_aggregate_target is set to 500MB

     and sga+pga is 3500MB,

     but when the database is running,the memory consumption keeps increasing,

     In windows' taskmanger,i can see the process "oracle" cost about 7000MB first.and a few days later,it increased to about 9000MB now.

     sga plus pga is just 3500MB,how could oracle cost 9000MB mem?

     i queried "total PGA allocated" from v$pgastat,The value is nearly 500MB,so the pga is normal

     and the count of sessions is about 150,in normal range.

     So,how can i find these extra memory cost in where?and how to solve the problem.

     If the memory cost keeps increasing,a few days later the machine's physical memory will be used up.
