    Resolved [RESOLVED] cached memory?

    Can anyone tell me why windows has cached up to 1.5gb of memory? Or why my page file is 1.7gb? I've attached a screenshot so you can see.

    First I turned off superfetch a long time ago and checked it today just to make sure it was still off. The reason the cached memory came to my attention was because I run virtual machines and all of a sudden I couldn't start one because it said I didn't have enough memory for it. When I checked the task manager cached memory was like at 5.5gb! I had to restart my pc so it would go down. It went down to about 800mb but it has steadily climbed to what it is now.

    Second I have set my pagefile size to be 1gb a long time ago. I also set it as the maximum. So I'm not sure why it states it's at 1.7gb now? I did check the pagefile.sys file and it is only 1 gb though...

    Any light on this matter is appreciated. Thanks.
