    Kernel Memory

    In the taskmanager's performance tab
    There is a kernel memory group, I've used computer this long (~15 years over) but I don't know what that statistics means
    Someone can offer some help ?

    Thank you

    Arrow Re: Kernel Memory

    That is the memory used by the operating system kernel.

    You'll see paged and non-paged. Virtual memory can jump in and swap part of the memory to disk (paged), but some of the kernel must always remain on physical memory and cannot be swapped out (non-paged).
    Good Luck,
