    Under task Manager..after some vista tweaks..my 7805 runs idle at specs below. Please let me know if you notice something wrong or if there is something I can do for better performance etc..

    AT IDLE (no applications up and running): I also have my startup items limited to what is necessary.

    Memory usage
    1.11-1.15Gb

    Physical Memory
    Total 4089
    Cached 3178
    Free 50

    Processes55-60

    CPU Usage1-4%

    Physical Memory    27%

    SystemPage File 1276M/8375M


    What came to mind was that maybe I have too many processes 55-60 and I should be more like 35-40. Its just hard bc I dont know what half of them are!
    How does my Cached Mem look?
    Using 1.11-1.15Gb at idle seems correct given Vista right?

    Kind of non related..but during a game of Fallout 3 on ultra high setting maxed, I will use about 53% of my RAM so a little of 2 gigs

    Thanks everyone!

    Hi Cinco,

    Guess that's normal. Right now I have 60 processes and 1.25GB of ram usage.

    Cheers...
