Tweak related: How much ram does your system use?

[Spewn]

On a clean boot, how much ram does your system take up? List your OS, total amount of ram, and the amount used on a fresh bootup/login to the OS.

Me:
WindowsXP SP1
512mb total
~150mb used on a fresh boot

I'm thinking that's a lot, and I need to try to optimize things. I plan on sitting down tomorrow and reading through everything in the official unofficial tweak thread

I use WinXP and after loading my start up programs, I have around 740 megs left from 1024.

at startup i use 80 megs of ram.


depending on F@H and whatelse I have running I usually hit 150-200 mb usage for normal activity.
