Virtual memory questions

[mike1305]

Here's my script (from the helpfile).

$mem = MemGetStats()

$pagefile = $mem[3] / 1024 / 1024
$virtual =  $mem[5] / 1024 / 1024
MsgBox(0, "Total physical RAM (KB):", $mem[1])
MsgBox(0, "Total PageFile:", $pagefile & " GB")
MsgBox(0, "Total Virtual", $virtual & " GB")

I have a question: AI told me that my pagefile is 5GB and my virtual memory is 2GB. When I set it up in the Windows properties, I set it to 4096MB-4096MB.

From everything I know or have read online, the virtual memory IS pagefile.sys in the root directory. so shouldnt the pagefile and the virual memory be exactly the same?

Ermm, not exactly the same, no - but close! Read the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article, they do a good job on it.
