Now, I need to know why is desprency is there? hare krishna Alok

Guest John John Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Re: Memory is not being utilised The memory being used by the operating system and drivers is not all accounted for in the Task Manager. Use Perfmon and look at the Memory counters. The following are being used by the system and drivers: Pool Nonpaged Bytes System Code Resident Bytes System Driver Resident Bytes The Available Bytes counter will give you a better estimate of available RAM.

Guest Alok Kumar Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Re: Memory is not being utilised Thanks Detlev for offering me this valueable help, So this mean I need to add system cache and kernal stack memory to it in order to calculate the actual memory consumed by the system,right ? Tell me one thig, Can I alter the system cache limit or is it defined by the system. hare krishna Alok

Well, you'll never wind up with the *exact* amount of RAM installed, however, you'll come pretty close. > Tell me one thig, Can I alter the system cache limit Not really unless adding more RAM, for instance. However, you can modify the usage of the system cache size. "Optimize the System Cache Size" http://www.pctools.com/guides/registry/detail/931/ -- d-d
