explorer.exe memory leak? wow hope it get fixed before launch!
okay,
I am running 64bit edition of rtm ultimate. I have just copied about 30GB of Backup Data consisting of approx 134,000 files containing photos, Videos & Documents. I look in Task Manager and explorer.exe's memory usage is 490MB My System has only 1GB Ram, so this 490MB is either Memory Leak Or Cache? what do you think?

Is it having any other problems? Because if not, don't worry about this. RAM is meant to be used and all modern operating systems will use whatever RAM is available. That's what it's for - to be used. Malke -- Elephant Boy Computers www.elephantboycomputers.com "Don't Panic!" MS-MVP Windows - Shell/User

What you knew in the past about memory usage is now quite the opposite when
it comes to Vista. Vista uses RAM completely differently than XP does/did. Someone explained it to me like this: Vista uses RAM like Linux uses RAM. Basically all the RAM is used upfront and then as more and more applications are opened, Vista moves the apps in the RAM around as needed. This allows the system to be more responsive and “feel” faster to the end user. Combine that technology with the new pre-fetch included in Vista and things really work much smoother. If you have a laptop, you might want to add a USB stick and then enable Ready Boost on the stick. It really helps and allows a place for the large cache to go. It's like adding more usable memory to the system. It works really well and I'm telling ya, makes a noticeable difference. //David MVP - Shell/GUI "Toxsickcity" wrote in message ... okay, I am running 64bit edition of rtm ultimate.
