Not entirely accurate. I just started troubleshooting a Win2008 R2 system yesterday - it has 16GB of physical RAM + 16 GB pagefile for a total of 32GB of virtual memory.
The system is using 10.9GB of physical RAM, yet check_nt tells me it's using 2.69GB. Completely wrong, even if check_nt was only talking about physical, only talking about virtual, or talking about the sum. Solution? Remove yet another checkcommand using that outdated program.
