MSI afterburner and tray readouts - pagefile # doesn't make sense
I currently have my pagefile set to 3072MB for initial and maximum. I've been having lots of pagefiling issues due to my low amount of memory (3GB) on my 32bit system. I've already built a new Windows 10 64-bit system but until it's up and running I'm still using my Windows 7 PC for a while.
Anyways I'm running MSI Afterburner to monitor my temps. I like it because it gives me tray temps for my video card as well as fan speed, CPU temps, CPU load, and memory usage. But I'm confused by what MSI afterburner is showing me for memory usage. I have a choice of displaying a bar indicator or a number in the tray. For the memory and pagefile, I have the bars being displayed. But the bars don't make sense. According to MSI afterburner, my pagefile usage hit 4882MB last evening, and later it was at 4337MB! How can that be if it's set to 3072? And the bars for both memory and pagefile aren't even halfway up the gauge, even when my memory is maxed out. If I hover over the memory bar in the tray right now, it's saying RAM usage: 2428MB, yet the bar is only a little bit filled. The pagefile bar is a bit higher up but it says 2847MB currently. So shouldn't that be close to the top of the bar since the pagefile is almost maxed out currently? Very confused.
