jaclaz Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 if i only look Commit Size and Working Set 1.594 + 1.678Well, what makes you think that you can arbitrarily ADD the contents of any two columns? http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/what-task-manager-memory-columns-mean#1TC=windows-7 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382715.aspx jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted December 14, 2015 Author Share Posted December 14, 2015 see this is what confuses meCommit Size refers to RAM + virtual memoryyet I don't use virtual memory, unless kernel storages "somewhere" like 300 MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TELVM Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 (edited) Resource Monitor => Memory is better for understanding this stuff: Private = amount of physical memory in use by the process that can not be used by other processes. Shareable = amount of physical memory in use by the process that can be shared with other processes. Working set = Private + Shareable. Commit size = Think of it as 'potential pagefile usage' (if there was such one present). The best indicator of the practical impact a single process has on memory is private.

vinifera Posted December 15, 2015 Author Share Posted December 15, 2015 think working set is "best"as it shows "overall" use, private only shows memory that wasn't reserved, working set shows both nevertheless i got my answers, and thank you guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
