Again, very helpful. I'm sure others agree. Question: given that all real mem is mapped to the pagefile, why does tskmgr indicate that total memory is real mem + swapfile? Just a (misleading) convention? If would be more useful to list available memory as the larger of the pagefile or the physical ram, since that's all it will hold anyway.
Obviously I was misinformed about the allocation of data to the swapfile. Thanks for clearing that up! Apologies to Mrs. Spots too <g>.



On a similar note. Anyone know how to monitor page faults that actually cause a flush and reload of a page from disk rather than the total # of faults which may not necessiarly involve a swap?
