Improving Vista Premium Performence/Reducing Memory Usage

[Psycho_eddie]

As per thread title currently using Vista Premium 32Bit and notice 500-700mb usage of memory out of my 2GB without doing anything... just in idle mem consumption is way too high!

Could anyone help me get memory/performence better?, i.e what processes could i do away with any how i get them off i.e processes and services 50+ of them running in idle!!

I will be getting 4GB in the future along with 64Bit verson as 32Bit only uses 3.25GB max...

Any ideas guys :shrug:

Its only cached memory meant to make apps load faster. The moment something needs that memory, its instantly purged. Its not a big deal

I agree. I have 65 processes running right now with 40% of my 4GB in use and I can open 10 apps in rapid succession and not feel a performance hit. Vista controls the memory far better than XP and 64-Bit Vista is even better. I always found that disabling services for anything except benchmarking does nothing but hurt general PC performance.

Perhaps im not giving good enough reasons to qualify for help :confused:

Say i bench 3dmark06...

I want to minimise the performence gap between Vista and Win XP

Just wondered perhaps which process's i need to get rid and how?
