Memory options
You can see your system memory status on this display:

The "Memory" tab shows the detailed information
on a condition of operative memory of your computer system. Here you can
set threshold values of conditions for a memory subsystem.

Physical Memory - main system
memory used for operating system and user programs.
Paged Memory - Regions located
in kernel space from which memory blocks can be allocated and deallocated
dynamically. (Some other systems call this "heap memory.") The
memory manager creates two kinds of pools for system use and for use by
drivers via Ex (ecutive) Support routine calls: Paged
pool is a based region that can be paged in and out of a process's
working set.
Virtual Memory - A view
of memory that does not necessarily correspond to the underlying physical
memory structure. For example, a given range of virtual addresses might
be mapped to and backed by some number of discontiguous physical pages,
even though the corresponding virtual pages can be accessed as a single,
contiguous range. |
