Inaccurate Memory used/available reading

[Teiji]

I have the G.Skill 64GB RAM (F4-3200C16D-64GTZR). HWINFO displays my physical memory used as 42.2 GB and physical memory available as 23.3 GB (total = 65.5GB!). Windows 11 task manager shows 40.8 GB used and 22.7 GB available (total = 63.5GB, which is more inline with my 64GB modules). My guess is HWINFO added the paged pool to used memory and the non-paged pool to available memory for the sensors reading? Is this a bug or intended?

If this is intended, can you please add different sensors for the used/available memory WITHOUT the paged/non-paged pool?

This is because you don't realize the conversion from MB to GB. 1024 MB = 1 GB
42199 MB = 41.21 GB
42199+23262 MB = 65461 MB = 63.9 GB
Matches perfectly.

@Martin: You have a small typo there: 1024 MB = 1 GB (or 1024 KB = 1 MB).

Oh sorry, thanks for correcting

Sorry for my noobiness and thank you for the explanation.

I guess I should always double check and not listen to Google blindly.
