Memory Mysteries
Hi,
My PC is Core2Duo E4500 with 2GB RAM.
It started to bog down so I tried to do some inspection. Since I'm not very good at this, I just followed a layman's approach to it. I took a screenshot of Processes and the Performance tabs of Task Manager and tried to inspect things.
All running processes consuming high memory are legitimate. However, the memory usage is alarming. The Mem Usage column totaled 558240 KB (i.e. 0.53 GB approx.). This doesn't tally even nearly to what is shown on the performance tab. The physical memory usage is nearly 1.8GB there.  And as if this were less, an additional 1.65GB is being used for paging too. That totals it to nearly 3.5GB 
So that's nearly 7 times the memory that should be used.
So are there any other processes also that do not show in the Task Manager? What is the right way to inspect this?
