Clint,
"Commit charge" should be only a number, 3 digits long with an "M" behind it, like "172M".
I am using XP home it must be different. My numbers are 6 digits with a K. Right now my Commit 219656K total, the Physical Memory is 47336K available.
The whole line should be something like "172M/1247M" where the 1st # is PageFile usage and the 2nd # is PageFile available. These numbers are going to be different of course depending on how you, or XP has the PageFile/swapfile set.
Mine says 'paged' 38900K Nonpaged 7112K. That is under kernel Memory
I'm not sure though what you mean by "272,388" as that figure. Is that number after the comma, the number that's after the / slash mark?
I don't have any commas or / slash marks. The 272,388K was the total under Commit Charge.
I think you're reading those figures wrong since of course you can't have more memory FREE UP after starting more programs.
I've been keeping an eye on these numbers and the available physical memory goes down when I start a program but it goes back up as time goes by. At one time tonight I was down to 27,288K but it has come back up to 47232K without closing any programs.
Look at the "Performance" tab when you cont-alt-del for more details.
That's where I'm getting all these numbers.
Ideally, (or maybe not so ideally), XP sets the PF
usage by default for 1.5x the amount of RAM for a minimum size, and either 2x or 3x the amount of RAM for max size (can't recall which and it's not shown in mine).
My Commit Charge limit is 635,276K
The Kernel Memory where it says "paged" and "non "paged" has a total 45,984K, I don't know which of these you are referring to.
It couldn't hurt if you went to 512mb of RAM, that would certainly help.
I think this will probably be the solution for me.
