However, if that's really true, then the computer shouldn't start freaking out when at 17.8/22 used, and 21.8/22 commit used. Ideally, the computer shouldn't have any memory complaints until 21/22 physical used, right? Something weird is going on. Do you have another hypothesis to explain why I get low memory symptoms based on the commit charge, not on the physical? | |
| Jul 23, 2015 at 20:11 | comment | added | Chad Bernier | The computer was built with 4 + 4 + 4, and then I added a 4 + 4 + 2 that was laying around unused. Of course it would be better to replace that 2 and some 4's with 8's, but that would cost money, and there isn't room in the budget right now. | |
| Jul 23, 2015 at 18:24 | comment | added | David Marshall | You belief that reducing the RAM used by mapped files would help is wrong. The commit charge relates to the total amount of virtual memory processes have requested whether they have used it or not. Windows guarantees this will be available so it has to be less than RAM + pagefile. If the processes actually started using the memory the mapped files would start to be removed from standby memory. | |

| Jul 23, 2015 at 18:08 | comment | added | lex | How come 22GB RAM? 8+8+4+2?? if you're really using these amount of RAM please consider adding/upgrading another 8GB stick at least. | |
