HELP: Task Manager!!!!!
Hi all,
I have been doing allot of research on Win7's Task Manager, in particular the Performance Tab because I am getting issues I am not understanding. I read an older thread on here explaining the Manager
(user:Brink - 18/01/09)
- Total is the amount of RAM installed on your computer, listed in megabytes (MB).
- Cached refers to the amount of physical memory used recently for system resources.
- Available is the total of standby and free memory from the Resource Monitor.
- Free is the amount of memory that is currently unused or doesn't contain useful information (unlike cached files, which do contain useful information).
What I don't understand is how is it possible to have almost NO 'Free' memory but have loads of 'Available' memory. I have attached a screen shot below. We are running Win7 on a Dell Precision 690.
Can anyone explain in more detail or suggest a link about these values I would be most grateful. Much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Nick.
