cagneyrat Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I have a strange RAM issue. I have Windows 7 64-bit with 5GB RAM and only 3.5GB shown as available. Is this something to do with hardware? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brony Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 32 bits application uses up to 2gb of ram (no matter the OS). And some "updated" 64bits applications are still restricted to 2gb of ram. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Veteran Posted July 18, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 18, 2010 I have a strange RAM issue. I have Windows 7 64-bit with 5GB RAM and only 3.5GB shown as available. Is this something to do with hardware? Some motherboards simply don't support it. What are your hardware specs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 4 gigs is still more than enough for my gaming desktop. I am never using it all even gaming and multitasking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
undu Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 The OP clearly needs to upgrade to 32 GB of RAM in order to keep up with his heavy multitasking. I don't think that's enough for him, he obviously needs 48GB of RAM and an additional CPU, this should do the trick: http://www.evga.com/articles/00537/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SakuraKira Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Indeed, check out other processes. I once had some odd malware behaviour that created iexplore.exe processes over and over until it sucked up all 8GB of my RAM once. O_O! But yes, to echo previous posts: 111 processes seems rather large, you should look into that before spending money on more RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDoggyca Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 Im sure if I had 48GIG of ram I still be able to max it out. (most I seen on a desktop mainboard support) as for prossces defult mircrosoft processe is 89 on start up (clean install) and then I add other start up progams like Virus scan Ad-ware Shield Messanger ATI CCC Utorrent Steam Deamon Tools Itunes Vmware and of few others I use .. Then u have programs that add proccese like PunkBuster Windows Home Server Console and a few others that u never turly see but u need them on to use the program 89 are Windows Defult Prosses found under start>adminstion tools>services ( I already tweaked what I need to run) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDoggyca Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 *facepalm to OP* those are required to run VMware program it self. Even if your not currently runing a Guest OS That up there is just a semi detailed of this pic oh *facepalm back* I found out that Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.1 x64 as a memory leak. Lexmark Productivity Studio also has a memory leak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkos Reed Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Indeed they are, however, running VMs don't show up in the task manager AND don't inflate the main vmware processes' memory usage, only the system memory use as a whole increases have a look around there, espacially VM autostart settings when vmware starts ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkos Reed Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 what I do see from your latest screenshots is simple, with the VMs offline, your memory usage and running processes are normal, see where I'm going? ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDoggyca Posted July 21, 2010 Author Share Posted July 21, 2010 the issuse waz over the fact that I found out that Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10.1 x64 has a memory leak.

+Gary7 Subscriber² Posted July 21, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 21, 2010 83 running processes is not normal . I never had that many running even at the initial install. I no longer use Xp mode as it is a total waste of resources. Why use an OS that is out of date? This is only my opinion but any thing more than 60 services is probably to many. Check out Black Viper's site. http://www.blackviper.com/Windows_7/servicecfg.htm He is sort of an expert on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
