System Monitor/Performance Monitor questions

ronpasa69

This has to do with performance counter questions. I need to make sure that the Performance counter 'Memory - Available Mbytes' counter remains at or above 5 percent of the totoal system memory. Will you please remind me how to find 5% 512MB using pencil and paper.

512*0.05=25.6

Stuff like this is easy to do in your head.

You know to get 10%, right? Just move the decimal over 1. Now you have 51.2. Now you just cut that in half to get 5%.

Otherwise, just find 1% by moving the decimal over two places. That's 5.12, and all you have to do with that is multiply by 5 to get your answer.

Thank you so much for the remedial math help. That’s exactly what I needed.
