    RAM probs

    I have a prob, how come when im not do anything and nothing is really running on my task list my pc is using like 30 to 40% of my physical memory? It cant be spyware because i just go it a few weeks ago.Oh yea, I have 1gig (4x256)

    Have the same problem, I know bassically how to fix mine as my computer hasn't been reformatted in a while so I have background apps running.

    Bassically normal apps use your Physical memory, like if you have a firewall or norton running, check your background processes, its not always spyware, I don't have spyware, but I have my firewall and anti-virus running.

    Go to the task manager, hit processes and you can see how much each process is using of your memory, before you end any processes and don't know what they are check this site and search them:

      ctrl-alt-del & post us what u have running under 'Processes'

      also goto start, run, type msconfig press ok & under the startup tab, uncheck anything u dont wish to start when windows loads.

        Just to top it off, remove stuff from your computer that you don't need at all, if you find out you have something thats using needed memory, or even memory, then delete it, its just another part of friction on your computer.
