    Virtual memory usage


    How can I monitor virtual memory usage (eg. during gaming session)?

    Did you try Resource Monitor?

    The size of virtual memory is controversy.
    I always set it to a fixed value of the double of physical memory.
    As I have a SSD and a HDD, virtual memory is set only on the HDD.

    You have 4G of memory and use internal graphics. The ideal OS for this scenario is Win 7 32 not Win 7 64

    Don't look at my specs, Im asking about windows 7 in general, not my machine.

    Currently Im on PC running windows 7 32 bit, 3GB RAM and 3GB virtual.
    I can see in physical memory in Resource Monitor - 1,2GB active, 1,5GB cached, 300MB free but I can't see how much of 3GB virtual memory is actually in use.
    I tried Sysinternals' Process Explorer - View - System information - memory tab: Paging Lists
    but not sure how to read it. 'Standby' was sometimes 1,7GB - is that it?

    EDIT
    nah, standby=cached

I got two questions about paging files: Is there a command in Windows 7 (or even earlier versions of Windows) that will tell you how much of the total Windows paging file is being used? For example, you might have a total of 10,000MB of virtual memory, but 7000MB might only be used. The...

Ok, I am literally KILLING myself over this! I installed Windows 7 64Bit over XP around a month ago and it was so good that I recommended it to my brother who was previously on XP too. We got him a copy of the 32bit version as he has only 2gb of memory, and he installed it on his machine....
