+dave164 Subscriber¹ Posted July 18, 2010 Subscriber¹ Share Posted July 18, 2010 Agreed Windows 7 should have 45 process running, the extra 60-70 I bet is the reason... clean up your running programs. It like you installed every popular program since 1995, ;) Just joking around but seriously clean up the programs Yep, I only have 60 processes and that's using 1.92GB of RAM out of 6.

SiCKX Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 That "error/warning" message comes up because of the small pagefile. Just let Windows manage it, don't tweak anything. Also kill half the processes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech-nerd Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I have 2 gig ram and have 99 processes running. but I've only used 1.5 gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Singh400 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Would love to see the OPs entire process list. I've got 58 processes running right now, and it is using 1.54GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Anarkii Subscriber² Posted July 18, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 18, 2010 Even with my 12gb its no where near as bad as OPs :o I think someone else said hes just trolling with a million different applications open. Gunna open everything I can and see what RAM I hit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorwing Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Take a look at your memory meter...... Clearly something supernatural is occurring here. :devil: Yup I agree. His comp is haunted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZakO Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 That message only shows if you disable the pagefile afaik, is there a reason you've disabled it? I've hit 11GB used (out of 12GB) quite a few times and I've never seen any warnings like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenwizard88 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 On the other end of the spectrum, I'm installing Visual Studio 2008, listening to music, have word and firefox open, and am playing WoW... With just 2gb of RAM. And I'm only using 67% of it :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerAusgewanderte Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I can get into this situation when opening a few app like matlab with a large image for analysis and run a trajectory on a materials studio file and have two virtual machines running in vmware (each 2Gb Ram and 2 processors - OSX and XP). But... why in the world would I do that ... core i7 920 with 9Gb Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsupersonic Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hmm unusual. I myself regret getting 8GB of RAM. I should've got 4GB as I don't utilize 4GB itself. I'm usually between 1-2.5GB of RAM usage. Wow: I opened Firefox and Chrome with all my bookmarks (40+), opened 2 VM (both Ubuntu 10.04 w/ 2GB of RAM), 7 games (Crysis, NFS Shift, Dirt 2, Killing Floor, Borderlands, Stalker Clear Sky, Bioshock 2) and I'm only at 4GB of usage, 94 processes. Damn, the Core i7 is very smooth too, no lag at all :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 upgrade to 64bit os I would say he already is running a 64-bit OS, as the OS is using more than 4GB RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you'd be serious about selling it ;) I had many opportunities to sell the RAM to my friends, but I opted not to. I've had this build for about 10 months now, and this build is going to be a long term build (I regret the 8GB for now, but it'll help in a few years from now), so I'm probably going to stick with my 8GB for now. Sorry! Good luck on getting more RAM! :) The prices have skyrocketed since I bought this kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
