Hello

I'm trying to obtain the System Cache value using PerfMon but cannot find
the right performance counter (on Windows XP SP3 32-bit with 4GB of physical
memory).

Somehow Cache Bytes or System Cache Resident Bytes do not give me the
expected result. They are off by about a factor 10.

What is the latest definition of "System Cache" in the Task Manager?

Thanks!

See "Memory Performance Information" on MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa965225(VS.85).aspx

There is no perfmon counter that exactly matches System Cache in XP's
task manager. You can however get this value programmatically
(PERFORMANCE_INFORMATION.SystemCache).
