Hi!
I run a Win XP Home (SP2) and was just wondering about this.
I have a P3 1Ghz computer with 384 MB SD RAM. This is roughly a 5 year old machine that I'm passing on to my mom when I get a new computer.
Performance wise, the computer is rather average. Not too laggy neither too fast either.
I realised that my computer is using about 438 MB of Virtual Memory when I'm doing nothing at all. The rate is constant.
However, for my Physical Memory (I got this from Windows Task Manager >> Performance) Total is: 391664K, Available: 55972K, System Cache: 149660K. I believe some parts of my RAM is kinda missing. (System Chache + Available is not equal to Total) Why is this so?
Secondly, is there anyway to make windows to fully utilize my RAM before jumping into using Virtual Memory. I only have a single hard disk and it isn't fast (the speed is around 4500
). Any ideas?
TIA
