I have 32 bit system with AWE enabled. The MEMORY/Available Mbytes shows 4049 MB of available physical memory.However the PF usage in task manager is showing 4.25 GB usage.what is the reason for high PF usage in spite of 4GB of free physical memory

OPen performance monitor and collect
Process -> Page file Bytes (all instances)
Process -> Page file Bytes (all instances)

That will tell you which process is using maximum pagefile. YOu can add values for all instances to get accurate peak usage.

There are some inconsistencies in Task Manager and Perfmon result. Perfmon is accurate.
