Cap'n Refsmmat Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 The page file is hard disk space used to hold stuff from RAM that isn't needed at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aeternus Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Ctrl + alt + del -> Performance -> Physical Memory (In XP anyway) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 in task manager it's described as commit charge in the tab with the graphs about CPU usage I belive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2SO4 Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 so my commit charge is my ram usage? this cant be right. It says my commit charge is 515m/1248m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pangloss Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Oh dear, tasking my MCSE knowledge here. I believe the commit charge is the amount of RAM that will be used before the page file is engaged. The number will always be something LESS than the "Available" figure (because it kicks in before you run out). Run a search in the MS KB at support.microsoft.com for more info on Commit Charge, but I don't think that's what you're looking for. I believe the amount of RAM you have currently available for use is the "Available" figure under the Physical Memory heading. The "Total" minus the "Available" would be the amount currently in use.
