XP Memory allocation
Posted by JIM_ML on December 16th, 2005


Hi,

I am developing a very memory intensive application in ASP.NET and I have a
question regarding how Windows XP manages memory allocation.

I currently have Windows Task manager open on the Performance tab and it is
showing that I am using 684MB of the 1GB Ram I have installed in this
machine.

However if change to the Processes tab and add up the Mem Usage of every
process currently running, the value I get is around 250MB.

I was hoping you might be able to shed some light as to what the rest of the
684MB is being used by...

Many Thanks,

Jim
