If you have Win95 or Win 98 there is a little utility called SYSMON. It has
a fantastic range of graphs it can show you, including Allocated RAM,
Swapfile in Use, Disk Cache Size, Unused Physical RAM. Do a File Find for
SYSMON. If you can't find it, search your Windows disk. Very handy in
tweaking one's configuration (e.g. setting PS's memory).
If you can't find it I can mail it to you...
