Understand NT's basic memory processes
Computers never seem to have enough memory, no matter how much memory is installed. One of the most complex and difficult tasks Windows NT faces is managing the limited physical memory present on a computer. This challenge is heightened by the fact that NT must divide physical memory among many processes that might be running simultaneously, giving each process an appropriate memory share. Further, NT must be able to adjust its behavior within a wide range of memory sizes, from as little as 16MB to as much as 1GB or more.

Like other people I need to find out why I am getting: "The instruction at "0x6aaa7324" referenced memory at "0x6aaa7324". The required data was not into memory because of an I/O error status of "0xc00000c4"." On a server that we upgraded to 4GB. Everything worked fine until the upgrade.

Like Rob said, I too was looking for an answer to the error "The instruction at "0x...." referenced memory at "0x....". The memory could not be read.
wanted to know why it happens and what it might indicate (ie is my memory physically gone bad and may need replacement?)

The best article I have ever seen on such a complex topic. Well done and keep it up.

Interesting article, but what I need to know is what to do when things go wrong. I have a system file backup program that runs automatically on my computer every day. this has worked for 5 years. Now suddenly I get a message: "The instruction at "0x...." referenced memory at "0x....". The memory could not be read. I assume there is a new offending program I'm running or a Windows update that is causing it. All I want is a little tool which will display a map of my memory showing which programs and services are using what memory.

I think it was an excellent article on memory management as even the best of the books are not able to explain the concept very clearly.The best thing about the article is that, it has been explained in the most simplest of the ways as possible.

Excellent! One of the best resources I have found on the net. I have to give my 5th semester OS exam and find this article on memory mgmt extremely helpful in what I have learnt from my OS course book. And its free! Overall, an excellent resource on OS articles.
