using task manager to monitor memory

200 100+
Hello everyone,


Just two terminology questions which I have not found answer from MSDN. I am using Windows Server 2003.

1. Page File (PF) Curve

I think Page File is system page swap file (persistent storage to store page-out pages by a page stealer). Is that correct?

If yes, I do not know why this parameter is so important and displayed in central together with CPU surve. I think physical memory consumed and available is more important to analyze performance, right?

How do you use the page file parameter to analyze performance and how it impacts performance in your experience?

2. What are the differences between System Cache and Kernel memory?


thanks in advance,
George

Read Chapter 13 Windows via C/C++ by Jeffrey Richter 2008.

I don't have time to re-type the chapter here.
