Hi, I just recently bought a desktop which came with Windows Vista Home Premium 64-bit. I have one question though. I notice that even when idle, my free Physical memory starts decreasing, while my cache memory starts increasing. At one point, I saw that my free memory had dropped to 0 while running a game.
I found this weird as I figured that my RAM would be sufficient to run most games, while still having some free RAM leftover.
Is this a bad thing? Will having little to no free Physical Memory hinder my playing of games?
With no applications running, my Physical Memory (MB) status shows:
Total: 6134
Cached: 2574
Free: 2750
My other information, although i'm not sure whether it's needed, are:
Processor: Intel i7-920 2.6ghz
Ram: 6gb DDR3
GPU: Nvidia GT230 1.5gb dedicated ram
Any answers at all would be appreciated. Cheers!
