I have a p4p800 deluxe with 1 gig of ddr 3200 RAM (dual channel) -- running
windows xp pro. I don't overclock. Running at 800 FSB. I have PAT and
hyperthreading enabled.

I notice that when I first reboot my computer, task manager shows a "commit
charge" of about 72 mb.

As time goes on, that "commit charge" figure slowly creeps up. After a day
or two it stays at around 80 mb. Then a few days later or so it might be in
the 90s. After a few weeks it will be around 115 mb (when the computer is
essentially at rest). At that time, performance seems slower (windows take
longer to open, whether exploring my computer or opening IE).

After a month or so (with commit charge now in the 120s when the computer is
at rest), I'll reboot and the cycle will start over again.

I have only two apps that start at start-up (nvidia task manager and the
soundmax drivers). Only 17 processes are shown as running in task manager
(when I'm not doing anything on the computer, other than viewing task
manager). I run a lean machine.

So what is going on? Do I have a memory leak, or is this normal for XP?

Maybe this link will help explain things a little.

Also, I found several links that explain the commit charge by searching
google using keywords 'commit charge in windows task manager'

By chance are you using the RAID setup and the monitor utility from Promise?
This utility has a serious memory leak. When you fire up task manager with
the monitor service running you can see your handles and non-paged pool
bytes steadily increasing and hogging up your memory.

Nope -- no RAID no promise.
