PC Memory Question???

[finkle62]

Hi Guys,
I know one of yu'all can answer this for me, or at least enlighten me.
I added a stick of SDRAM (256) a couple of weeks ago and everything is fine, however I just installed Norten Utilities and It has a "System Doc" that monitors things on the PC. When I startup or restart my comp. it has around 240 to 260 of Ram (Physical Memory) available or not used. But, In just a few hours (6 or 8) no matter if I have'nt used the comp. at all or am on it the whole time the memory is all being used. I don't notice any performance diff. but am just curious of where it is going.


Thanx, finkle

PS: PIII 800, Win ME, 384Ram

Try using one of those "memory recovery" softwares like RAMidle, Memturbo, MemMAX, etc. I lose alot of memories also after using the computer for the whole day without restarting.

WinBlows has terrible memory management. Think of it as a boat that was so badly put together that is has hundreds of little leaks. If you don't take it out of the water and drain it (reboot) every once and a while it will eventually sink (crash) on you.

I use Ramboost, its at tweakfilesdotcom. works pretty well for recovering memory space.
