XP is built around the same kernel that Windows NT4 and 2000 uses. These
operating systems are much more efficient at handling memory, and swap file
allocation, and are superior to Win9X / ME.There is no resource heap or
limitation.

You can use Task Manager to display performance issues, such as, how much
physical ram you have available, your processor use, what processes are
running, and how much ram / CPU time they are using. You can also use it to
shut down a unruly application that is locked up, or even to shutdown the
computer when things appear frozen. Task Manager can be brought up by
pressing CTRL ALT DELETE and then pressing the Task Manager button.

However, I prefer to launch it by making a shortcut to
\winnt\system32\taskmgr.exe, and then assigning it a hotkey.
