A user reports memory errors. Which utility will allow you to determine how much physical memory is installed, how much is currently being used, and the size of the paging file on a computer running Windows XP?
1. Task Manager
2. Msconfig
3. System Control Panel utility
4. >>System Information utility
Explanation : You can gather all that information from System Summary in the System Information utility (MSInfo32.exe). The System Information utility allows you to view a lot of information about the computer, including general statistics such as the amount of memory installed, the size of the paging file, the amount of physical RAM currently committed, and the processor type and speed.
The System Control Panel utility General tab reports the amount of RAM installed. The Advanced tab allows you to access virtual memory settings that report the current size of the paging file. This is also where you change virtual memory settings. However, it does not report the amount of RAM currently being used.
Task Manager allows you to gather information about the amount of RAM installed and the amount of RAM currently committed (in use). It does not provide the size of the paging file. However, it does report information about paging file usage. This is not the size of the paging file, but how much data is currently stored in the paging file. You can also see how much virtual memory is being used by each process.
Msconfig allows you to configure startup options for troubleshooting. It is not used to view current performance statistics.
