Perfmon Memory Questions

[Jeremy D. Pavleck]

Gang,
Of all the Process counters, which one most accurately portrays the amount
of memory being used by a process?

As it stands, we have the following memory counters available to us:
Virtual Memory, Working Set, Private Virtual Memory, Private Virtual
Memory Peak, Non-Paged Pool, Paged Pool

Which counter, or combination of counters, most accurately tells me how much
memory a particular process is using?

Working Set is going to be your best bet, it is basically the sum of all
memory that has been assigned to a given process.
