hi all, I have 1 gig of ram and my pc runs at 300mb ram when its standing still, I cannot Identify the problem through task manager and have run several malware programs ( I foud a few generic trojans) they were removed no problem and the problem persists. Any help would be appreciated and I am sorry If I have posted in the wrong forum or If it has already been discussed
reported for what? im trying to get an answer thanks for all of your wonderful help 56delray I bet all you do is look for reason to report people and get off on it in a sick way would have been nice if you said hey man u need to go about it this way, but no, your a child I bet you never thought that my problem was an immediate issue that needs attention promptly as now my ram is lower, what a humanitarian you are
you were reporting for double-posting. please don't do it anymore. what operating system are you running?
no problem, im running xp sp2 media center also I should tell you that my network utilization is fluctuating between 0 and 1% this is also new, dont know if its significant or not
300 mb of idle usage doesn't sound too crazy, to be honest. i'm using 579 mb with firefox being my only active program.
something happend tho, up until last week I was running 650 - 700mb free ram, If I scrub my ram I can get almost to 800 but sadly enough it seems those days are over until I figure this out
koa_jesus, read the forum rule. 3. Post your question only once! Don't cross-post your questions to multiple forums!
Sorry you misunderstood my intendtions, but I did not have the time to answer your post. Howerver you should have left your response to Is that 300 MB left or being used.
What you found is normal. Windows Xp uses up all of your RAM for its own purposes, dll cacheing, etc. It releases it when it is needed.
