188597 2003-11-02 01:30:00 just downloaded Cacheman (build 5.5.0.30).

it claims my pagefile is 256MB, which is correct. it claims currently i am using about 10MB of the pagfile (with 180MB or so for allocation - which it tells me represents reserved pagefile for potential usage).

in XP's task manager the VM size column ( enable it if you can't see - it's not on by default) claims figures quite different..

even if task manager if referring to allocation (which i suspect it might) its still different to chacheman. i added all the progs VM size and it totals about 97MB.

so, regarding pagefile usage - which do i believe? cacheman or task manager.

188600 2003-11-02 04:08:00 Actually Graham is correct. Belief has no basis or place in the scientific method.

An independent 'certified' method is needed. It is possible that like is not being compared with like though.

Cant give an answer but here (www.microsoft.com) is a related MS article.
