ripken204 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 just wondering how much ram usage you guys are getting on xp. this is just b/c ive heard that vista is suppose to use 500mb of ram, i dont know if this is true, let me know if im wrong. but with my programs that are running right now which is almost none, im getting a little under 400mb of ram used.

LLXX Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) XP itself? 66.7Mb here, measured with no other programs running.

Shindo_Hikaru Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Little over 200 here, this is currently with 4 active applications (Opera, Trillian, ZoneAlarm and Zoom Player <playing a 200 meg media file.) and several background apps running, i think approx 14 or so apps.

Mangix Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) 300-400MB here. it mostly uses closer to 300MB though. if i have no open programs(well the non-important ones), it gets down to about 100-200(closer to 200) Edited August 14, 2006 by Mangix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Well... how are people measuring this RAM "usage"? You guys also forget that if you've got a pagefile, then inactive RAM will be swapped to the disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 14, 2006 Author Share Posted August 14, 2006 well im just talking about what the performance tab in the task manager says. is there a more accurate way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerwin Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Just Under 700MB Here....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangix Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) well im just talking about what the performance tab in the task manager says. is there a more accurate way?meh. the RAM that's showed on the Task Manager tab is nothing. a lot of programs can use up a LOT of virtual memory. Process Explorer shows Opera using at least 100MB memory .edit: here's an ss of that i mean Edited August 14, 2006 by Mangix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spazmire11 Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 well my system seems to always stay atleast 50%. but i find that acceptable haveing what im doing all open. this is with 1gb of ram btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripken204 Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 Mangix- my opera virtual size in that program is 390mb... but in the normal task manager the virtual size it 90mb which seams more reasonable. something's lying to me here.

Kelsenellenelvian Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Seems to me the more ram I have available the more gets used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunderbolt 2864 Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 A little over 400MB, 440MB to be clearer.When I used Vista, it used about 900MB, which was insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
