Solve : Why is all the memory not being used . .? |
|
Answer» RUNNING: IE8, X P Pro, Intel Pent 4, 2500 Mb of PC3200, CPU 2.8. It runs 3 Monitors. At times I have "tested" my machine to see how many sites I could put up and hold in Taskbar. Until recently I only had 1500Mb of memory and at about 825 of usage it would almost come to a stop (PAGES not filling, videos not playing) . . so I added 1000Mb more memory . . . now the same thing happens when I get to about 1400 in usage . . .in each case a little more than half of what memory I had was being USED before the COMPUTER said 'thats enuff'. Why isn't ALL the memory being used. No, I don't really need it, just curious as to how this works. Otherwise, the machine works just fine, and fast. It has a Dual Core processor and Hyper-Threading. 64 Views and not one response. Dissappointing. Maybe I've been Blacklisted.

Maybe I've been Blacklisted.No answer because you said: "...the machine works just fine, and fast..." The application being used determines how much physical RAM is being used. Some use more virtual memory and less physical memory.what are you referring to by "usage"? Commit charge in the statusbar of task manager, Physical Memory used on the performance tab, or memory used by IE when you open the tabs? Quote from: Computer_Commando on March 24, 2011, 04:35:21 PM Some use more virtual memory and less physical memory.Well, generally speaking, applications just ask for some memory to store data in and don't really care how it's managed (that is what the memory manager is for) Really the answer here depends on what "usage" value they mean. Thanks BC, I was hoping you'd clarify memory management, as it's beyond my expertise.This is indeed refreshing... It's the exact opposite of the hundred's of posts we get from users worrying about too much memory usage... CARRY on... |
