I have installed windows 7 in one of my machine. It has 2 GB RAM but when work for some time it gets very slow when see performance tab of windows task manager (Available + cached + Free ) memory not add up to 2 GB its some what very less than that( last check 1.2 GB).?

Cached memory showed after some time >500 MB. Please explain exactly how to control cached memory that shows up in task manager performance tab. computer becomes very slow after some time when this value goes high.?

  • The memory columns in Task Manager do not accurately represent the memory usage of a Windows machine. I would recommend something like Process Explorer from SysInternals instead.

  • Yeah - you cannot add up memory like that - it's not so simple. Refer to this related q

Click Start, type in Resource Monitor and press Enter. Now click on the Memory tab for a better representation of your RAM usage (including total memory).
