You are one of the first to arrive on a scene and you are asked to perform live memory capture on a machine reporting 4GB of RAM. Upon completion, the size of your actual image file is closer to 5GB. What happened? Did you mess up the memory capture?



▸ Yes

▸ No. The way a computer system works is to report only available memory. Memory in use is not reported.

▸ No. The 4GB reported is RAM. The utility you used to capture system memory also was able to capture some of the device cache memory on the system.

▸ No. Most Windows machines "reserve" approximately 20% of system memory for its own use.
