Curious about virtual mem. How can you tell if your computer is using it. i can see it and change the size, but would like to know if its being used.
 
You can find virtual memory usage in the task manager and is also known as "Page File". In the graphs it shows your "page file" + your total physical memory (RAM) usage. In the "Commit Charge" section on the bottom you'll find virtual memory total, limit, and peak usage. Hope that helps.
 
If you need the current usage of pagefile.sys, perfmon (with the paging file counter) can tell you. The task manager cannot.
