I know that XP is a bit different than '98 but when I bring up the task manager and go to the "performance" tab I really don't understand what everything means. Physical Memory, Kernal Memory, Comitt, Page File.... can someone give me a little lesson in how to interpret my performance?
My system has 128mb RAM. That said, here is what my performance reads now:
Physical.........129580k
available..........64204k
system cache...72216k
kernal...............31756k
paged...............27252k
nonpaged...........4505k
Page File usage: 126mb
total: handles, 5282
threads, 298
processes, 25
Commit Charge:
total............129584K
limit.............380536k
peak............185404k
Is this good? How do I use this info to determine how well my computer is performing? Why is Physical and Commit slightly different?
