I'm looking for one that reflects the memory used by each active process.
My Avast AV program seems to be a memory hog, and I have a feeling that my
Win 2000 task manager (and Win XP on another machine) don't tell the whole
story. I have 384 mg ram installed and I'm constantly down to about 175 mg
free.

The MS beta anti-spyware seems to be quite a memory hog, too.

I would if I could find it in system tools. Is this something that doesn't
load as a default, and you have to go back to your OS disk and load it?

Right now, I'm using Sysinternals Process Exp which is probaby a front end
to it.

I'm running it and see nothing happening. No graph - nothing.
I'll have to stick with sysinternals stuff. I wonder why they never added
the link to system tools?
