Determine SPID is using TempDB disk space

I have an application that processes approximately 300 transactions/sec on a
SQL Server 2000 database.
Periodically I have a process that uses a large amount of TempDB database
used disk space.
I have an alert set if the TempDB database used disk space reaches 80% then
send an alert.
Please help me with a script that I can use after the alert is set off to
determine which process is using the most TempDB database used disk space.
Thank You,You can run sp_who2 on tempdb, and see which [SPID] has been consuming
massive unusually high amounts of [DiskIO]. Also, is you know the object_id
that is consuming the disk space, then sp_lock will reveal who is currently
holding it.

Detaching system databases...

I need to detach (in order to move the datafiles) MASTER,
MSDB, MODEL, TEMPDB. I am using EM and the sp_detach
options om SQL Server 2000 but it's saying "Can't detach
system databases". Am I missing a step?
Do I need to end all connections?
Thanks,
Todd
Why are you detaching the system databases? Are you planning on moving them
to another server? Here is some information about moving system databases,
that might help.

Why? It's much cleaner, IMHO.
