What i said was that, will the RAM usage will stay at 400MB or it will go up to 600MB(Nothing running) when adding more RAMs?
will stay the same till you load something in startup, start a program or hgave a program running in the background. i'm running xp pro sp2 with a dual core 2.6ghz & 2gigs of ram, my task manager says i'm using 670meg in pf usage but physical memory shows 1.29meg available with 478k in system cache with 6 internet explorer screens open & outlook express open.
My bro has 4GB of RAM and right now, the RAM usage isn't at what i calculated... it uses 1.67GB awhile i am running now Counter Strike:Source and steam and Google chrome and it doesn't reach what i think when i uses a calculator to calculate how much RAM usage should be... If i disabled page files, it's at 2GB+(+ = MORE)...
leave the settings at default till you learn what different things do or your bro is going to thump you when you mess up his computer & he has to reload his windows because windows won't load.
I did learn but i dont get what's using so much RAM at 2GB... Every computer i sees is either 30-40% or higher and never seen it around 10-19%... What could make my bro computer using 2GB RAM?(PageFile took like 20-50% of the RAM when it's enabled) What would you say that's using a lot of RAM or it's just... I dont wanna mess with it but i wanna know what's using what and that's that....
