Performance counter question

[bankai123]

Hi, I'm using the Windows Performance Counter to monitor my .NET application and to diagnose some memory leak problems. The two counters I'm particuarly interested in are "Working Set" and "Private Bytes". However I'm not sure what scale to use for both? Currently the scale is set at 0.00001 by default. I'm not sure what units this is measured in so can someone guide me to what scale to measure at? Thanks

It says right in the title of the Counter - Bytes. The scale is just there to get the counter values to fit into the range of 0-100. So 30,000,000 bytes multiplied by a scale of .000001 would give to 30, the bottom of the graph being 0 and the top 100,000,000.
