Visit http://PCWizkidsTechTalk.com for more tips The Task Manager in Vista and XP provides detailed information about computer performance , specifically CPU usage, commit charge and memory information. Video notes: If the Total Commit Charge exceeds the Total Physical Memory, you probably need more RAM. When the Commit Charge is regularly higher than the Physical Memory available, it means that you have to regularly use a Page File, which may slow down your system down if its old. Buy more RAM in that case. If the Peak Commit Charge is frequently at or near the Limit Commit Charge, you need to increase your memory. When this occurs, it means that your PC is frequently out of memory or close to being out of memory. Either add RAM or increase your Page File size. Check the PF (PageFile Usage) make sure its not in the red, if so increase it as mentioned in my previous video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2igH6O0ARM
