All - I have reviewed the Experiment in the Windows Internals book "Accounting for Physical Memory" and I have never been able to come close to the total physical memory. Per the book, the following equation should come close to equaling the total amount of physical memory: Total Process Working Set Size (from perfmon) + Total system working set size (from perfmon) + non paged pool (from perfmon) + Available memory (perfmon) + Modified & modified-no-write paging lists In my case, this equals 1GB+ when I have 4GB of memory on the system. Additionally, according to the book, if I subtract Available Bytes, Non paged pool, resident paged pool, and resident os and driver code, and modified list from Total memory, I should have a number that is simliar to the Total Process Working Set. In my case, this number is 3GB+ more than the Total Processor Working Set. Can anyone help me determine why my numbers aren't coming close? I am using a system with Windows 2003 SP2, x86. |
