Memory usage


Choose Memory Usage on the View Menu to see a summary of memory in use and available on your computer.

Physical memory means RAM and virtual memory means RAM plus the page file on disk.

The size of the concordances you can make, and the speed with which they are made, depends to a considerable extent on available memory. If you have little available memory before making a concordance, it is worth trying to increase it by closing other programs.

The way free memory (RAM) is reported varies from one version of Windows to another, and is nearly useless under Windows 95/98.  A low figure for free RAM on these versions of Windows need not always be a cause for concern.
