Author program is allocated more memory then needed
Navneet Kumar

Hi,
I'm counting the memory (a growing Linked list) my program consumes, but
pslist ( a sysinternals freeware) shows the Virtual memory allocated to the
process as double that of the actual.
Why is windows allocating so much memory to the process. Can I free this
extra memory allocated so that my program doesn't exceed the 2GB limit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Navneet
