I've my pagefile set to min and max 4096mb. Meaning to say, it is a static 4GB page file - it should not grow nor shrink.
However, in HWinfo, the VM committed is around 8000ish MB.
Virtual memory is the sum of RAM and page file. Committed memory is a different thing entirely, memory that an application has requested from the OS, but that's not necessarily used completely by the application. An application might request 2 GiB of memory, but might use only 10% of that. The committed memory is then 2 GiB, but the used memory is only 10% of that.
when I view my memory usage it says 6.6/15.9GB of committed ram but I am unsure what committed ram actually is and I am unable to find an answer, please help.
