| | How do current versions compare to Beta 2 in memory usage? Those of you who had Beta 2 installed and now are running a more current version of Vista, can you provide some memory figures comparing the two versions? |

| | Re: How do current versions compare to Beta 2 in memory usage? When I was running beta 2, I was seeing about 65- 75% in memory usage when the machine was idle. Now I am seeing about 35-45% memory usage. In the current build there are lots of stability and memory leak fixes, and my guess is by the time RC1 is available the memory usage will be down even lower. "Kai-Uwe v. d.

| | Re: How do current versions compare to Beta 2 in memory usage? Thanks, that sounds good, a huge difference. You're talking about a machine with 768 MB, I suppose? With Beta 2 I see ~half of my 1 GB allocated after startup. I'm looking forward to try RC1, as it's supposed to have enormous improvements in performance also, as far as I read.

| | Re: How do current versions compare to Beta 2 in memory usage? On my tiny 512mb, it uses 85% of the memory with build 5384 most of the time according to the CPU/memory meter sidebar gadget. Of course, that isn't really saying what Vista is using, just overall. I can't wait to test another build of Vista. -- Robert Firth http://www.winvistainfo.org "Colin Barnhorst" wrote: > Even on a 4GB machine, usage is about half a gig. > > "Tom Ziegmann" <tziegmann@nospam.msn.com> wrote in message > news:39F63C74-E8D0-44AC-892B-9A65B00D78BE@microsoft.com... > > My machine that I got these stats from has 1 gig also. > > "Kai-Uwe v. d.

| | Re: How do current versions compare to Beta 2 in memory usage? I have 2GB of RAM. Running Vista, without having installed anything else, I see a usage of about 5% on average. Don't know what all you guys have installed but Vista itself sure isn't using half a gig of RAM just sitting there. I know it's a resource hog, but sheesh...

| | Re: How do current versions compare to Beta 2 in memory usage? I have 512MB. Though 5384.4 is old news now, the OS was using the 512mb, plus 100mb paging too. I was running the sucker at idle. I think the Taskman was messed up in 5384.4, it showed like 5 tasks running, with some blank tasks. "Raven Mill" wrote: > I have 2GB of RAM.

| | Re: How do current versions compare to Beta 2 in memory usage? I don't know how you were judging it, but Vista does seem to use over 450MB of memory at idle. I have seen that consistently across x86 and x64 on bare metal and in virtual machines.
