About the Memory agent

Keeping on top of your memory usage can help you avoid degradation of system performance. The Memory agent monitors your physical memory, virtual memory, and pagefile usage and notifies you as memory usage reaches the preset thresholds. If you notice that you often exceed 75% of memory thresholds, you should consider adding more memory and/or increase the size of your virtual memory settings.

How to set the memory usage alarms

When setting each memory usage alarm, keep in mind the average number of programs you planning on having open all at once. The more programs running in memory, the less amount of memory is available for other programs you want to run. Do the following to set your memory usage alarms:

1	Double-click [image] on the Windows task bar.

2	Click the Memory icon.

3	Use the sliders to set the maximum allowable memory threshold. You are notified as it approaches and exceeds this threshold.
The usage indicator below the sliders indicates how much memory is currently being used.

4	Click Apply for the new settings to take effect.
