Task Manager is pretty limited. Try Sysinternals Process Monitor (downloadable from MS, free) for a lot more info about what's running on your machine.

Guest Curt Christianson Posted September 7, 2007 Posted September 7, 2007 Re: What is PF usage under task manager? Hi Dave, I believe I've heard that before too, but in the strictest sense, virtual memory is only the PF. RAM is physical memory--nothing virtual about it. Some applications or monitors *may* regard VM that way though. I got a feeling I've just started something. ;-) -- HTH, Curt Windows Support Center http://www.aumha.org Practically Nerded,... http://dundats.mvps.org/Index.htm "Daave" <dcwashNOSPAM@myrealboxXYZ.invalid> wrote in message news:eYlqAnW8HHA.1208@TK2MSFTNGP05.phx.gbl... | Lanwench [MVP - Exchange] wrote: | | > Pardon my jumping in here... | > | > PF = pagefile = virtual memory. | | I always thought it was: | | Virtual Memory = PF + RAM | |
