Hi everyone, Nice group ya got here. I am new to vistax64 and I was
hoping someone could explain something to me.
I have a dell xps 600 that originally came with xp pro. 2.8 dual core
and 1 gig memory. I was doing a lot of audio multi tracking and wanted
to up my memory to help out with some latency problems I was having.
the xps600 manual said that the mobo could handle 2 gig on 32bit and 8
gig on 64bit so I upgraded to vista ultimate and installed 8 gig.
everything runs great and this solved my latency problems but there is
one thing I noticed.

I use a G15 logitech keyboard which has a CPU and RAM monitor built
into the LED window on the keyboard. This monitor tells me that I am
usually using only 20% of my ram. Even when I am multitasking and using
huge files, it never goes above 36% of ram usage. My pagefile is system
managed and usually around 8.5gig at idle.

So my questions is; Why isn't Vista utilizing more of my ram and is
there a tweak that would help me get more out of my system?

Thanks in advance for any input you guys might offer.
