Hey guys,

For Christmas today I received a Logitech G15 keyboard. Upon installing and messing around with it a bit, is it me or does this thing require a LOT of memory.I have 2GB of RAM and just using the vanilla apps, the Performance monitor shows me using 18% memory on idle . . . I personally think that's quite a bit. Then when I tried to get fancy by having speedfan and the LCD app running for it, it jumped to 23% memory usage.

So I then jumped into a game of BF2, wathing that memory bar . . . it maxed out at 66% memory usage! Isn't that a DAMN lot of RAM being used? The keyboard alone, vanilla is over 23MB.

On startup of my Pc, the only things running in the taskbar is Apps for my Razer CH mouse, the g15 Profiler, Incredimail, AVG, and speedfan. As far as processes, there are 2 Nvidia processes along with the norms. Most of the useless XP services have been turned off as well.

Unless I'm just paranoid, isn't this 23% of ram being used simply idling a lot?
 
Hmm . . . You don't like incredimail? I've been using for about 4 years now, never had problems with it. It's only taking up 8MB of RAM . . .

WS6 - It's only using 5 megs, than you definitely aren't using all of the LCD features. The LCDCore alone is like 10 Megs. Without that, the Macro keys won't work. I'd really like to hear how you have yours set up . . .

Thanks all.
 
Yeah the programs are like 10meg a piece or so, and there are two me thinks... Also if you really want some cool stuff on the keyboard, goto g15forums.com , then watch a program called LCD Studio 2 take, at sometimes 70+ meg of ram :eek: , but its worth being able to see your name on the lcd, some server stats, and your own customization.
 
BF2 has been known to utilize much of 2GB RAM, so I wouldn't be worried :)
especially when you have 2GB, 20mb or whatever from the keyboard isn't much.
