The Task manager in Windows 2000, XP, etc. has the Commit Charge section
showing the Total RAM usage and the Peak Usage.
I can determine the maximum physical RAM and the available physical RAM
through the WinAPI call GlobalMemoryStatus (Which gives me Physical, Page,
and Virtual) but I can't seem to find the Peak RAM usage. I thought it
would be related to the Virtual but that goes up and down whereas the Peak
stays until I reboot.
I just want to display some of this information in an About box so that the
user can decide whether they need to reboot their computer/upgrade their
RAM, etc. (Since once your Peak usage is larger than your Physical RAM,
Windows will slow down to a crawl until the next reboot)
Any thoughts?
Thanks
