doveman Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 I noticed this system I'm setting up for my brother is only using 2610MB and as it has a 1GB DataRAM RAMDisk loaded, that means Windows 7 x64 Ultimate (plus the programs I left running) are only using 1.5GB.Yet my own system, which doesn't have a RAMDisk loaded, is using 2719MB with much less programs running.The main difference between the systems is my brother's is using the onboard HD4250, utilisiing 512MB of system RAM (this is taken out of the equation before the RAM usage shown), whereas mine has a 2GB HD6950. Would this make my system use over 1GB more RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted August 31, 2013 Share Posted August 31, 2013 Run RAMMap on both systems, store the data as RMP files, zip and upload them and send the links via PM.http://blogs.technet.com/b/askperf/archive/2010/08/13/introduction-to-the-new-sysinternals-tool-rammap.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doveman Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 HiAnother useful tool to add to the arsenal I've PM'd the links to you as requested.I rebooted the X4 PC and managed to get it down to 1952MB with most apps shutdown, which is 767MB better but still the other PC would only be 1610MB without the RAMDisk and that's with a bunch of apps running.RAMMap uses about 600MB just when loaded (increases to about 1GB when making the dump), so that pushes it up to 2570MBHere's the Ste-PC with RAMMap running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicAndre1981 Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 what is your own system? The x4? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doveman Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 Yep, mine is the X4 and my brother's is Ste-PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicAndre1981 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 ok the X4 has a lot of pool memory usage (memory used by drivers in the kernel)You must run poolmon.exe to see which tag is the cause:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ntdebugging/archive/2012/08/30/troubleshooting-pool-leaks-part-2-poolmon.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
