How to get Vista to use more memory?
Thanks for the great explanation of the ctrl-alt-del display. It would seem that having 8GB of Dominator memory in my PC is wasted electricity. Perhaps I should remove 4GB and hold them as 'backup' in case the 4GB memory left should die? Best regards, AraiBob -- araibob |

How to get Vista to use more memory?
As to the numbers you posted earlier, you have 28 MBs of free RAM - all the rest of the 8190 MBs is used. So all the RAM is practically used. I don't see a RAM usage problem. -- whs |

Perhaps I should remove 4GB and hold them as 'backup' in case the 4GB memory left should die? Given that the "Free" memory is so low, I'd leave it in, even if all your RAM isn't actively being used, it's still being used by the OS for caching, so it may improve performance (or it's possible you were using more RAM previously, and said apps have quit) RAM doesn't use much power, and since you've already paid for the RAM itself you've paid the biggest portion of the cost, so I'd keep it in at this point, at least if it were me. |

All, I have Vista Ultimate x64 Extreme, with 8 GB of memory, Q9300, and 2 velociraptors. I do NOT overclock, but would like Vista to use more of the memory. Typical load usage of memory is 2GB - about 25% of my total memory Maximum use of memory was 3GB - I would rather have Vista use memory than to use swap file. How can I get this done?
