well recently i got extra ram, and learned that by clicking on nvidia settings from the little icon on the desktop you can find out exactly how much is actually available.
well, i have 1024 mb, and usually it says 820,000 kb free when i turned off all programs before starting BF2.
however, recently its down to about 620, 000 kb free, even with no difference in processes or programs.
about half of this is "svhost.exe" which has about 65 instances in the task manager (slight exaggeration, theres actually only maybe 10) but all of them use of LOTS of data, ie, the same that running itunes does, about 10-15 000 kb.
and together all of these stupid processes eat away at my ram. i just want to know which ones i can turn off without my computer exploding.
i have a nasty feeling that this "svchost.exe" is actually some stupid spyware thing or similar.
also, the decrease in available ram has nothing to do with reformatting windows, a virus or trojan or spyware. this is because it actually only happened when my computer lost its internet temporarily because telus was having problems.
