What is your average win 8.1 x64 memory usage ? (after boot, vx. win 8

[Apollo232]

Hi everybody,

I just installed Windows 8.1 and my memory consumption has increased significantly, probably due to some services settings I need to dig into.

But I am very curious to see if I am the only one affected by this and how does windows 8.1 behave on average.

So if you don't mind, I'm conducting this little poll to see what is, on a wide range of computers, the windows 8.1 memory usage

Thank you very much

-Matt

PS: I should precise this concern the 64bit version !

Got it down to 2.0 but I was around 3.7 before.

A fresh, clean install boots up to about 1 GB of RAM used.

Perhaps the next step would be to show all your processes using the Details tab. Specifically, make the Working Set (and ideally other memory usage) columns visible.

2.4GB (after it settles) out of 16GB.

I just wish it would cache all my unused RAM a bit more aggressively as its only cached 2GB after 1 hour of idle.

Sometimes it will cache all of unused RAM.

non paged pool is a bit too high.

use poolmon to see which driver is the cause:
