Default Displaying process memory

Needed, a display listing W98SE running processes and the actual memory
usage for each, in real time.


There is no such utility because:
1. Memory usage varies with data file size as well
as application size. A 10-minute MP3 requires
more memory than a 5-minute MP3.
2. Windows is set up to handle memory needs
automatically via the swap file i.e. "Virtual Memory."
Use of the swap file varies inversely with the
availability of RAM (chip) memory.
