Monitoring Windows 32-bit Memory for the Oracle process
Hi
FYI.. the Windows Task Manager is not the most accurate tool to review Oracle memory usage. I recommend using Perfmon and add a counter for the Oracle process looking at the 'Virtual Bytes' counter. From the "Explain" pop-up on Virtual Bytes
Virtual Bytes is the current size, in bytes, of the virtual address space the process is using. Use of virtual address space does not necessarily imply corresponding use of either disk or main memory pages. Virtual space is finite, and the process can limit its ability to load libraries.
This is the best indicator of how much memory the OS "understands" to be allocated to the Oracle process
