Octopuss Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Few days ago someone told me the numbers task manager reports are totally wrong (we were talking about memory at that time). The guy told me it's some kind of bug or whatever in the kernel, that's just counting it wrong. Anyone can confirm this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WwTIPPYwW Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 I can confirm...somebody told you something the other day.perhaps a bit more detail might help. If its related to more than 3-4g of RAM on a 32bit OS - there is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Octopuss Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Nothing, just asking about something I heard of but no way to test myself Pure curiosity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeball Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 What he could have meant is the terminology used. For example "Mem usage" under XP is not actually the memory usage of that process. If you are looking for the amount of memory a process is consuming you would infact use the "VM size" column. There is a lot of that type of thing (Especially XP and Lower) were the names shown and the names used under the hood are different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
