need ram/page file usage monitor that can handle two page files

[kroger]

Hello, I use space on two drives for my page file, as it says in
Windows help this will speed it up. But I've downloaded several
freeware ram / page file monitors and they either say I have 0 page
file, or only see the larger page file on my second hard drive.

I have a 2 gig page file on the C drive, and a 4 gig page file on the D
drive. I'm just trying this, I load multi-gig files in matlab and on
Linux somtimes use up to 13 gigs for a data load. I'm trying to learn
how much I can load on my 750 meg ram, 6 gig page file Win PC.

Thanks in advance for any help,
Jim

You can use Windows' built-in Performance Monitor. Start->Run->perfmon.msc

Click on the + or right-click the graph and select "Add Counters".
- From "Performance Object" select Paging File.
Choose the "% Usage" and/or "% Usage Peak" and for which page files.
Click Add, then Close.
Off it ticks! You can change various options including how often it checks,
colours etc.
