How your ram memory is being used.

karlsnooks · 02 Nov 2010

For the curious or those trying to determine who is the big memory user:

There is a new tool available from the SysInternals people.

This took gives you more information than you will ever need or, in my case, be able to digest.

Concentrate on the big picture and not all of the details which are generally only of interest to the software developer.

Good post. Thanks.

Thanks karlsnooks! And I thought Sysinternal's Process Explorer gave a detailed account of Memory usage. It sounds like RAMMap takes it to an even higher level of detail.

WOW! The page you linked too by itself has some really good information on memory management in a Windows OS. The tool is a gem, though I noticed immediately it's missing one capability.

In the File Summary tab, it would be nice to be able to click on a file name and have Windows Explorer open to that folder with the file selected.

sorry for being OT, but your topic heading of 'how your random access memory memory is being used' reminds me of chris tucker telling jackie chan in rush hour that the plural of chinese is not chineses! Now to be on topic, nice link.
