Commit history: how high normally & what is it?
tomos:
pc acting a bit funny
so I look in Process Explorer
"Commit History" is constant around 1.5GB - seems very high whatever it is
Couldnt find anything on internets to explain it - is it memory use?
Curious :) any ideas what it is & how high it would "normally" be?
I know there was a good bit of talk in some thread here about Process Explorer & meaning of graphs but I could not find it
tomos:
btw
I notice Process Explorer is up to version 11.20

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commit_charge
In computing, commit charge is a term used in modern Microsoft Windows operating systems to describe the total amount of virtual address space for which the backing store is the pagefile. It may be thought of as the maximum potential pagefile usage.

As long as you don't go over the Commit Charge Limit (which you can see in justice's shot), you shouldn't worry. Although 1.5 and 1.9 GB of commit charge are pretty high figures, I rarely reach 1.5 even when playing the latest games (I'm usually between 350-700), so you two must be running tons of apps (or Firefox 2 :P)

Just out of curiosity, are you running vista? :)
