High RAM Consumption :-(

[Guest Jake]

hi

im using a laptop with a processor (2GHz) and (2Gb) of RAM

system: Windows Xp pro SP2, 2002 edition, updated to SP3

>>> MY PROBLEM is:

I need to work on many programs that need memory, such as MS-Office Word (

with a document over 40 pages with pictures), Autocad-2009,

MATLAB-R2007a(mathematical program), ANSYS11 (for finite elements analysis

for engineering).

 

those programs eat the RAM, and sometimes i need to work on more than 3

programs at once. BUT AFTER I FINISH AND CLOSE THEM ALL i find that the RAM

consumption is still SUPER-high :-( over 1.4Gb although all hungry-programs

are shut down. i find that by using task manneger.

 

Also, Windows explorer (NOT Internet explorer) starts to take a portion of

200Mb (usually it takes not more than 80Mb).

 

The only solution i can do now is to log off then on or to restart cos then

the pc is soo slow and responds in ages :-( pain in the back.

>>> My QUESTION is:

 

WHY the hell is that happening :-( and whats the best thing to do to prevent

it? OR if this cant be prevented, what can i do to gain the low RAM

consumption back without a restart or a log-off/on

thankx x

Actually lots of ram consumption is what you want,the alternative is xp

useing the paging file to much...Chk out intels tricks for just

that,at:http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/gaming/SYS_reg.htm Or,read

microsoft kb555223 Also,2GHZ is dead slow for a desktop,where does a laptop

fit in to that speed...

RE: High RAM Consumption :-(

 

thanks for reply

 

well my pc is a laptop :-), my RAM is 2Gb and my paging file is 3Gb,

 

but the problem is after i shut down all RAM-eating programs, while the RAM

consumption is still high. my laptop behaves in a funny way.

 

process of Rendering newly opened application becomes sloooooooow. even if i

wanted to open "my document" file it takes ages to open it properly, and the

window of the file passes through a "blank frozen window" phase, thats how i

know something wrong is going on ...

 

and thats why i need to return the RAM consumption to its initial state

(like the one after restarting) by logging off. Otherwise im happy that my

RAM is used to its limit.

Maybe some of the information on this page will help. I found it

with a Scroogle (NOT Google) query. >
