When i look at the processes, there some columns I'm not sure what the differences are: Memory - working set Memory - private working set Memory - commit size can anyone tell me what they are? Gordon Thompson From the following article , under the section Types of Memory Usage : There are two main types of memory usage: working set and private working set.
