Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Defrag Tools: #6 - RAMMap http://media.ch9.ms/ch9/b643/6f12484d-1371-4d59-a817-7ef420d2b643/DefragTools6_220.jpg Channel 9 - Defrag Tools: #6 - RAMMap In this episode of Defrag Tools, Andrew and I walk you through Sysinternals RAMMap. RAMMap allows you to see how the Physical Memory (RAM) on the computer is being used. You can see how much RAM there is, for what purpose it is being used, and if there has been any memory pressure (not enough memory). We also cover a lot of Memory Management theory to understand the data in RAMMap.

Can't wait for the next one. Thanks again.

new laptop, but it's maybe because I didn't turn it off since a few days ago. Maybe. I hope.

It is the 5-7 that matter. You are getting enough memory pressure on 5 (1.6Gb -- x8 reused) to raise interest at least. Adding a few gigs will definitely help in those times - its not critical though.

Great Show, I hope you continue to make new shows every week, I look forward to them.

The next time I prepare for a show, I'll make sure to give it some time to do the updates. Can't set a bad example can I!

The show will be weekly for at least another ~10 weeks based on the current episode recording schedule. We tape a few at a time if it is the same topic.

Next is vmmap, then we have a special edition, then inbox tools. After that in a yet to be decided order is 3+ on Windows Performance Toolkit, 2+ on Procdump, 4+ on Debugging Tools for Windows, Network Monitor, Fiddler and PsTools. In the maybe bucket is audio, video, printing and device troubleshooting (1 each). We will also probably do a live show on Channel 9 Live at Build.

Lots and lots of shows to watch!  If your favorite tool isn't in that list, drop us an email at defragtools@microsoft.com or write a comment and we'll add it to the list or move it forward.

This may work for a fixed memory vm, but what about dynamic memory?

The startup memory block can be 1gb and later need a little bit more, and perhaps find that memory has been occupied by other vm's...

Thanks
