I would read what you wrote before suggesting that someone return to school.
You wrote "700kB". "When testing using System Task Manager as well as IARSN TaskInfo 6.0 I find that RAM is never utilised fully; always around 700 kB Free Physical RAM unused. Swap sits at 1 GB in use on max. 2.4" -- Paul "MPS" wrote: > "ray" <> schreef in bericht news ...> > On Sun, 06 Jan 2008 11:28:34 +0100, MPS wrote: > > > >> Vista Home Premium > >> 2 GB RAM > >> 2x 320 GB > >> Dual Intel 4300 1.8 GHz > >> 2 Monitors on Dual View > >> > >> Hi all, > >> > >> I am using this machine very intensively on the Stock Exchange, always having 6-8 apps active, > >> Maxthon Browser with 35 tabs open, Windows Mail, Word, Teletext Browser, networking, AVG, Vista > >> Sidebar etc. some 60/70 processes, all under Windows automatic management, so not best performance > >> or best display; just highest CPU speed set. > >> > >> All is running well but , when switching apps I sometimes get black screen patches, some pics are > >> slow, some apps respond sticky so I suspect a RAM underrun. > >> > >> When testing using System Task Manager as well as IARSN TaskInfo 6.0 I find that RAM is never > >> utilised fully; always around 700 kB Free Physical RAM unused.
