i have Ram with many page faults.

Can you please tell me how to check the page fault of that ram in
windows xp if there is any command for that.


In the phrase "page fault," the word "page" is very confusing and
often misleads people.

A page fault is not a problem, and is not an indicator that anything
is wrong. It's completely normal. It's not an internal indicator that
a page needs to moved from the page file back to RAM.


Sorry, typo. The word "not" somehow crept into that last sentence, which
should read "It's an internal indicator that a page needs to moved from the
page file back to RAM."
