Pushing the Limits of Windows: Physical Memory    • Comments 171
• Likes  This is the first blog post in a series I'll write over
the coming months called Pushing the Limits of Windows that
describes how Windows and applications use a particular
resource, the licensing and implementation-derived limits of the
resource, how to measure the resource’s usage, and how to
diagnose leaks. To be able to manage your Windows systems
effectively you need to understand how Windows manages physical
resources, such as CPUs and memory, as well as logical
resources, such as virtual memory, handles, and window manager
objects. Knowing the limits of those resources and how to track
their usage enables you to attribute resource usage to the
applications that consume them, effectively size a system for a
particular workload, and identify applications that leak
resources.   Pushing the Limits of Windows: Physical Memory
