If you are using Windows 7 or Vista the "Resource Monitor..." button on Task Manager gives you this information.

and the page you directed me to, i'm not quite sure how that helps, i mean im thinking you thing i'm on a fresh boot, but this is about a 3-4 day old session and out of nowhere it went from 125mb to about 2

disable your antivirus to see if that is a problem
