Page file usage history?

[0mega9401]

Hey i got a weird question my main rig is down while evga rma's me my new stuff so im using my small lan box for now, but when i go to my performance tab in my windows task manager instead of showing me the amount of physical memory being used it says page file usage history? why and hoe can i change this ?

e4500
gigabyte board m-atx
2 gigs or ram
1 160 western digital hd
7600 gt graphics card

Here's the irony

You have 2Gig of physical Ram installed; but Windows actually uses the Pagefile as the first (and usually only) resource

Now the Pagefile is actually being taken from your Ram, and possibly a bit more (if 2Gig is exceeded) from your Harddrive space

But the point being, is that it's the Pagefile that's being used and generally graphed. Not the Ram

I hope that this helps you understand this process more now

It must be the characteristics of the small lan box
I wouldn't worry about it
