Michael, The reason Calmira is reporting more "RAM" than what is installed is simply it is not just reporting RAM, but also "Virtual Memory"...also known as the Windows Swap File. Calmira is only reporting what Windows tells it is available, and Windows considers it all memory, "global heap" is another term, as is "global memory". You can find utilities to break this display down into the various types of memory, to include all, only RAM etc. One that comes to mind is on the Calmira home page, the download page, called MiniMon...get it! It's a great little utility, better than the one I did several years ago! See you! Glenn -- To unsubscribe, send a message to listar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe calmira_tips" in the body.
