How is Memory Organized in Windows?

Question

I'm looking for an explanation or good free online resources about the organization of memory and memory management in Windows systems.

Answer 1

You can buy this (old) book, (the actual Windows architecture hasn't really changed much in 10 years) for a penny (used):

Inside Windows NT

Here's the up-to-date version:

MS Windows Internals

There's also Mark's Blog

As far as ONLINE resources go, I've found it to be pretty sparse, though :(

Answer 2

Check out this DotNet Rocks podcast on the Windows memory model

Answer 3

In MSDN, some information is located here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa366525(VS.85).aspx

Answer 4

Windows Internals is the canonical reference for mm. It's far better than anything else you'll find on the subject, as Landy Wang doesn't write too much :)
