"How Many Processes I Am Running" Thread - Hardware & Software

i dont see why anyone would have more than 65 on windows. unless they leave every startup program on.

win xp: 47 cpu 1-2% (im svn updating something)

53 Processes 1% CPU usage.

67, Vista 32-bit.

76 on Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit. Many of them are processes i can't be bothered to check out and disable. I know there's nothing WRONG running, but there may be a bit more then required.

62 Win7 x64

55 Win 7

42 Processes, CPU Usage 4%, 1.50GB RAM, XP Pro

Oh dear. I gotta sort this out... 115 About 20% CPU usage... 56% memory I think that explains it... Vista 32

37

i got mine down to 47 today by turning off homegroup.

55, Win7 64

College PC, XP, running 37 processes.

45

42

57 using Windows XP Service Pack 2 32 bit. CPU usage between 0% and 1%

40, running Win 7.

Where we are right now: Lowest: And with 7 (on Win7 and questionable operability) Highest: [EG]Pepper with 257 I'm not giving that to Dr_Egg. A fork-bombed computer is a crashed computer, not a healthy one.

so you allow a barely functioning lowest but not a barely functioning highest?

87 Windows Vista Ult. 32 bit

[QUOTE=TheMadness;17800043]so you allow a barely functioning lowest but not a barely functioning highest?[/QUOTE] it's not barely functioning, it works fine... the only real problem is that i don't have internet when i do that

[QUOTE=TheMadness;17800043]so you allow a barely functioning lowest but not a barely functioning highest?[/QUOTE] If I had more information on the low one, then I could say for sure, but he appears to be able to run applications, and that's good enough for me. Anyone can make their computer run as many processes as they goddamn like, but to make it to such a small number is worthy of achievement.

[img]http://imgkk.com/i/taImsc.png[/img] Nowhere near crashing :v: By the way, that number is still increasing, still completely usable. The process that's doing this will kill itself eventually, and then I'll run a batch file that quits the programs. I guess it's about 20 seconds from killing itself now.

No, a fork bomb would be like this [code] @echo off start progman.exe start thisscript.bat[/code] This is just a script I wrote that starts notepad 1200 times and then kills all instances of notepad.exe. And no, this doesn't happen normally.

Figure it out yourself. Google batch files, fork bombs, and things like that.
