  I'm trying to determine what this notification is actually telling me about memory.  Does anyone know?  Do you know of any place on the web where I can read up about interpreting this output.

  Greg,

  The link below might be of some help to understand the notification sent to you by the Resource Monitor.

  If I am not wrong, I think the notification is about Low Physical Memory.

  I already read info at that site.  It showed a similar notification but the value of the notification was "RESOURCE_MEMPHYSICAL_LOW" and the article says "From this record, you can deduce that the server received a low physical memory notification".  Now my notification was "RESOURCE_MEMPHYSICAL_HIGH", so I was wondering if I could "decuce" that my notification indicated high physical memory notification.  That is why I posted the question.  I would buy your answer if my notification was "RESOURCE_MEMPHYSICAL_LOW". 

  Any other thoughts on this?
