Hi,If the total commit nears or exceeds your total physical RAM
Is there a way to find out how much of memory is actually being used at
any point in time? Does the commit number in task manager indicate the
memory used?
The purpose is to determine the amount of memory required in my PC. I
already have 512MB (2 x 256) but i find the commit figure most of the time
around 650MB (at times reaching 750MB) and slows down the system
tremendously. I need to decide whether to replace a 256 with 512MB (768MB
total) or 1GB (total 1.25GB).
Any guidance please?
Thanks in advance.
Ramesh
you are using the page file and your system will slow down.
If your system uses dual channel RAM you're best to remove
both 256's and go with a pair of 1GB's. At 1.25GB you'll
have mis-matched RAM, and a single gig (2x512MB) will be
marginal looking at your usage. Besides what's shown in
the total commit, additional RAM is used for system cache.
