• Windows 7 - svchost.exe touched in the head?
    33 replies, posted
So I just noticed in windows 7 ultimate 64-bit(yes I know I love wasting money) that schost can get up to .25GB of ram usage at times. [img]http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/4875/retarded.png[/img] It goes up at about 100KB of RAM /s and appears to have no cap. Anyone care to explain the retardedness of W7? Besides the fact that it's vista with a new sound pack pretty much(oh and it costs $100 more)?
Mine does the same, live with it, it won't slow down your computer. Windows 7 is not Vista with a new sound pack. It's much faster, and has had a lot of deep changes making it faster and much less buggier.

Did he just call Windows7 retaredness? wut There is nothing wrong with that what is beign used by svchost. and 250mb being used is nothing if your just surfing the net
Also it shows 60% usage sometimes when I know it's only like 20% when I'm using desktop but when I go in game where it's truly 60-70% usage it says 34-40%, so I was wondering, [img]http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/4683/excuseme.png[/img] [highlight]The guy above me read my post plzkthx.[/highlight]
Superfetch... it gives it away if something else needs your RAM.
[QUOTE=LarparNar;18764342]Superfetch... it gives it away if something else needs your RAM.[/QUOTE] superfetch should fuck off my RAM and use the 4GB flash drive I got it(readyboost anyone?).
If you don't like superfetch then turn it off.
I didn't say I didn't like it I'm saying it shouldn't give away 10GB of memory to a few apps. The 10GB being from the part where it compresses files on a readyboost drive to about 50% so it doubles the capacity(in theory) plus the 2GB of ram it's stealing from me.
[QUOTE=ThruTheDarkness;18764989]I didn't say I didn't like it I'm saying it shouldn't give away 10GB of memory to a few apps.[/QUOTE] When other apps need more memory, superfetch will release it to them.
I think one of the svchosts controls your computer fan or something, or heat levels etc. Because my friends computers fan didnt work and one svchost was like using over half of computers cpu.

You sir are a fucking idiot. [QUOTE=ThruTheDarkness;18764276]Except for the part where it does slow it down when I'm playing MW2 or GTAIV or CW.[/QUOTE] User error, not Windows 7's fault.
[QUOTE=Jimmy422;18765045]So you'd rather have all that memory sitting there doing nothing instead of it being put towards other tasks?[/QUOTE] This plus the fact that RAM usage when it's less than 100% has no effect on performance. [editline]09:25AM[/editline] So stop complaining OP when you have nothing to complain about.
[QUOTE=The Chef;18765003]When other apps need more memory, superfetch will release it to them.[/QUOTE] what apps would use 12GB of ram?

[editline]09:25AM[/editline] So stop complaining OP when you have nothing to complain about.[/QUOTE] Actually about 80% it starts fucking itself in the ass looking for more RAM.
This is why i stayed with vista, not some mock up version of it.
[QUOTE=ThruTheDarkness;18765356]what apps would use 12GB of ram?[/QUOTE] Any and every app that can be opened in your computer. Don't worry, as everyone said, when any app needs lots of ram, it [U]will[/U] have lots of ram.

Are you saying you [i]don't[/i] want Superfetch to release your RAM? [QUOTE=ACupXOfXNoodles;18765369]This is why i stayed with vista, not some mock up version of it.[/QUOTE] I don't understand you either, Superfetch was more aggressive in Vista.
[QUOTE=Roast Beast;18765541]I don't understand you at all. Are you saying you [i]don't[/i] want Superfetch to release your RAM? I don't understand you either, Superfetch was more aggressive in Vista.[/QUOTE] like the 9001 versions of svchost and chrome?
[QUOTE=ThruTheDarkness;18765747]like the 9001 versions of svchost and chrome?[/QUOTE] It's your fault for having so many services on and so many tabs in chrome. Also SuperFetch isn't the only service in svchost. You want to know what services are hosted just right click then click on go to service(s).
Holy shit you're back?
[QUOTE=ilolled;18766015]Holy shit you're back?[/QUOTE] No. I still read the forum and if I feel like I need to post I'll get on my iPhone.
Oh :frown: You should tether your iPhone's internet to your computer so you won't be IP banned :v:

[QUOTE=ThruTheDarkness;18770101]So you're saying this troll is supposed to be banned?[/QUOTE] it's because someone else got banned on his IP ye gods you the biggest prick I have ever seen [editline]08:43PM[/editline] stop using chrome if you have a problem with the way it works
[QUOTE=ThruTheDarkness;18770101] So you're saying this troll is supposed to be banned?[/QUOTE] I think you're the troll.
[QUOTE=ThruTheDarkness;18770101]It's really not my fault that internet is required to view web pages or google is too stupid to make chrome have 1 process and 20 tabs rather than 1 tab and 20 processes.[/QUOTE] You are the biggest idiot I've seen in a while. What the hell are you complaining about anyway? Are we even talking about RAM usage anymore? Stop trolling.

Wow, this guy is a magnet for boxes. :cawg:
Right click on it, and choose view services. You will see that one of those services is superfetch. Your question has been answered.
