does this look right to you? memory processes

[Sunni_Phono]

My computer feels like it runs like crap when I alt tab out of gaming to browse the internet. It never used to be like this.

Only 97k available? is that normal?

 

[defakto]

it's not 97K available, it's 97000k available, so 97 meg available.

doest seem like it adds up... I don't see 900megs off processes running. that's why im confused i guess.

You do see 900MB of RAM usage if you count the 346MB of system cache. Those screenies prove why 1GB of RAM is a really good idea, especially when it can be had for less than $100 nowadays.

rundll32.exe is a keylogger I think if you didn't know. I've got about 20 proccesses running on mine, maybe cut down on some progs running?

If you're interested in cutting down on those processes, then go into Start->Run-> "msconfig" and stop everything that starts on startup except what you know you want, then if you notice anything missing that you want, enable it again. Also, no local services NEED to run, and if you sort by 'user name' in the list, the second svchost.exe can be stopped. Actually, svchost is the only process that you CAN stop that will be bad to stop, since it restarts the computer when you do. (Of course you can set back the clock while it tries to do that, but why bother )
