Vista Ultimate x64 SP2

Hi everybody,
At the moment I've installed Vista Ultimate x64 Sp2 and on the task manager I see that the system is using about 1.1 gig of my memory. I disabled all of the fancy features of vista and using Vista classic theme. Does anybody have the same problem?

ps. I've 2 gig of ram and quad core processor.

Merhaba, Alyx.

That's not unusual. I would strongly recommend you upgrade to a minimum of 4GB of memory. What the heck... memory is cheap and you want the most from your pc. Pick up 8GB and it will be smooooooooth sailing!

Re: Vista Ultimate x64 SP2

Thank you lemur, but is there a remedy to decrease that to at least 500 or less? And have can I get rid of that Tablet PC input panel on the desktop, it is popping up everytime. I've a Wacom Tablet plugged in to my pc, is there relationship between my tablet and that nonsense Tablet PC input panel?

You can disable it in Windows Features. Really most people only use the snipping tool feature anyways.

But my laptop has 4 gigs also and it used about the same as yours. Nothing to worry about. Getting it down to 500mb or less would mean running in safe mode.

Might want to look into a RAM upgrade then. As 2gb of RAM doesn't run so smoothly on Vista.

P.S. I misread your first post and thought you stated you had 4gb.

Thank you very much CrucialHoax. Due to I've 2 gig of ram and the system is using 1 gig of it, it is not enough for me to work in 3d apps. Generally I use Max. Sorry about that, I deleted the message by mistake.

Re: Vista Ultimate x64 SP2

No problem CrucialHoax, it doesn't matter. Actually, you are right, I should add 2 gig of ram to my pc. But the problem is, in my pc there is 2 gig of ram with speed at 800 mhz. But my mainboard supports 1066 mhz memory. So, if I add 2 gig of ram(1066 mhz) does it cause any problems?

Yes, always keep ram the same to avoid any issues. So if you have 800mhz now, add a 2gig with a clock speed of 800mhz. If you want to up it replace all of the ram with the 1066mhz kit.

Re: Vista Ultimate x64 SP2

Thank you very much CrucialHoax, you are right. I think 1066 mhz memories is more faster than 800 mhz memories, isn't it?

Re: Vista Ultimate x64 SP2

I couldn't tell you that honestly. Because it depends on the machine. Some will work better with certain types of RAM. But theoretically yes, 1066mhz is faster. Maybe someone who knows a little more about RAM can point you in the right direction.
