    Hi, Does anyone know of any sites that may help me in finding some technical information on the Process Management and Memory Management of Windows, in particular Windows XP? I have searched (for about 3 hours) on google and only found apps to help Windows do its memory management, etc. For the record this is for a TAFE assignment but I'm not asking anyone to do my work for me, as such, just a nudge in the right direction. Thank You. :)

      I would suggest MSDN[^] and SysInternals[^] (don't get the impression of their great tools, they have some info and sources there, too). Exactly what kind of information you need on Windows Process and Memory Management ? Now, we see how useful were those WOSSA certification courses. I see dumb people

        Take a look at WMI (Windows Management instrumentation) or PSAPI. Memory Management Functions come under the Platform SDK eg. VirtualAlloc.

          Thanks for the reply! The assignment is a comparsion of DOS/MacOS/WindowsXP/Linux and I have to compare a few things such as file-systems supported, network protocols supported, user interface, etc. Plus provide information on the Memory Management Model (e.g Real Mode/Protected Mode) and Process Management (e.g Pre-emptive MultiTasking). I can readily find the information for the other OSes in books and online but not for Windows XP. So I am after a desciption of what "model" XP uses for the above (Process and Memory).

Unless they have changed the XP exam to examine the more low level stuff.;P

            Well, there's no better place than the book Inside Microsoft Windows 2000 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735610215/qid=1039364490/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/103-1521528-9275023?v=glance&s=books&n=507846[^] I know you said web site, but this book is really full of information. I don't know if you're in the US or not, but if so take a trek down to your local Borders or Barnes and Noble and do your research there (they don't mind, really). If you're determined to find it on the web, then there is a great deal of information at microsfts web site. In particular, you might be interested in these: http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/ProductInfo/Comparisons/UNIX/NTappdev/1_Introduction.asp[^] http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dngenlib/html/msdn_ntvmm.asp[^] -- Where are we going? And why am I in this handbasket?
