[QUOTE=duracells;22907654]Why do you have 8GB of ram?[/QUOTE] It was on sale, a REALLY good sale and I thought, why not? I was planing on buying 6 gb witch is more than enough, but then I saw 8gb of the SAME ram for $5 more, so you know... I had to buy it. [editline]08:53PM[/editline] [QUOTE=w0lfeh;22909297]What programs did you open? Agree'd ^˘ - w0lfeh[/QUOTE] Well I had a problem with Shockwave working on Hulu.com and realized chrome was using 1.3gb of ram, so I had the idea to open a few of them which got me up to using about 4gb of ram. I launched about 3 of every adobe program, TF2, about 20 of Algodoo( a physics simulator), 5 FL studios. After I got the screen shot, took me about an hour to exit everything and save the screen shot.
[QUOTE=4RT1LL3RY;22908667]Ramdisk? I keep my temp folders on a Ramdisk, you get to use normally unused RAM, its fast as hell, and you don't have to clear it.[/QUOTE] Please detail how.
For some reason whenever I install something my RAM usage goes up to 95-97% usage.
[QUOTE=M_B;22906096]shut up[/QUOTE] Why? It's true. If you were using silver luna, it's still luna, not metallic. Aero Glass is a substyle of aero. Other than images everything is inherited on its basic counterpart in the msstyles. When DWM is told to turn composition on, it uses this substyle rather than than the base (basic).
[QUOTE=Nilrus;22913490]Please detail how.[/QUOTE] Download the free version of Ramdisk from [url=http://www.romexsoftware.com/download/][u]here[/u][/url] If you are using a 32-bit OS select use invisible memory, the memory past the 3.5GB windows can use. You then make a partition from the data, each time you start windows it recreates itself; you can also have it save its contents to a hard drive on shutdown. You need to change the directory windows uses for its temp file to that location and thats it. I use it for my web browser cache and other temp files. I have a small system partition, 30GB, so having 4GB in memory used for temp files that usually build up over time is a nice way to do it.
While viewing this thread, firefox had a memory leak and spiked to using 500mB of ram actually i think its because of those gigantic images
[QUOTE=CAPSMAN!;22907068]9069X10000 :3: So I wont have to resize this shit when I want to place it on something. IMAGE[/QUOTE] I've never seen this pc lag on anything before. Time to upgrade some more.
[QUOTE=whatnow V2;22902294]or make a 8192x8192 image in paint.net and re-size to 200 percent, i learned the hard way[/QUOTE] I had a 16 GB image file once. Huge resolution and it took quite a while to save.
[QUOTE=Maccabee;22906306]136 process'? What are you doing? I have 16 running.[/QUOTE] I have 63.. [QUOTE=GawdOfROFLS;22905301]is it possible to turn of aero? I'm using Windows 7 84x[/QUOTE] I think you mean x86 (32 bit)
[QUOTE=CAPSMAN!;22909766]:smug: Too large for you?[/QUOTE] :smug: You are rather smug today, aren't you?
Why do you have 8 gb of ram but only a dual core processor?
[QUOTE=LiquiD;22896407]You don't have aero turned on?[/QUOTE] I had a game launched so it turned off automatically I usually have it on though.
[QUOTE=Inacio;22906220]Signing posts is so retarded -Yours truly, Inacio [editline]07:56PM[/editline] I once created a 16000x16000 picture on Paint.Net. Took 10 minutes to open. Then I set it to rezise 400% and my PC shut down :v: [editline]07:57PM[/editline] This is what I managed to make without crashing instantly: resizing a 1024x1024 to a lot of %: [img_thumb]http://meta.filesmelt.com/downloader.php?file=thanksyou.png[/img_thumb] It's great to annoy people on forums :patriot:[/QUOTE] My computer froze for a second as I scrolled over that. :geno:
Mine too :colbert: I thought windows was gonna crash... Then it stuttered down a bit more and I saw your post.
[QUOTE=whatnow V2;22902294]or make a 8192x8192 image in paint.net and re-size to 200 percent, i learned the hard way[/QUOTE] I seriously need to try this :D

[QUOTE=Sgt Pringles;22901034]How to use up all your ram: Start up UDK, then open one of the levels created by Epic Games such as one of the CTF maps, select "production quality" for the rendering, hit build all. Now watch as your ram gets eaten up like hell. I did this and the computer gave up half way as soon as the ram hit 4gb/4gb and crashed. I wonder how this would fare with larger amounts of ram.[/QUOTE] I've never used it before, how would I go about doing this?
