Here’s mine from my 130$ build (for mobo/processor/ram from newegg) amd 4400+ oc’ed to 2.76ghz 2GB ram Vista Premium I have not turned off any services to ‘save ram’, and this is with Onecare, Firefox (since 8am), and itunes (doesn’t get closed unless i’m updating it/restarting the computer). ![http://i36.tinypic.com/30nhdue.jpg](http://i36.tinypic.com/30nhdue.jpg) I’ll update with my laptop shortly. ---

and i’m still not noticing any performance loss…i’m still not having a problem multitasking…i’m still not having a problem doing anything performance wise on this computer. With those 61 processes still running i can load up grid, cod4, rsv2, etc and get the same frame rates out of the hardware as i did with xp… The fact that there are 61 processes running doesnt mean shit. oh yeah, and the computer hasn’t been shutdown/restarted/whatever in 7 days, 23 hours, and 15 minutes. ---

You are missing the point… if you have nothing open and 61 processes running… odds are there are processes trying to run or are doing somethign in the back ground. Not all processes sit dormant ---

im not saying they are sitting dorment. But what i am saying is your looking at the amount of processes running and saying it’s bad. Hell, if MS wanted to they could throw all those processes into one bundle, so it looked like only, say 5 processes were running. But would it save performance? No. because the same work is being done. ---

But would it save performance? No. because the same work is being done. Other than Vista you have extra shit running. On my XP machine I have 25ish processes running, I know Vista is different than XP… But 61 is insanely HI. edit: and with nikuk bitching about OMG VISTA IS SOO BLOATED, he has 101 processes running, Which is 40 more than you have currently. Its kind of hard to say OMG VISTA IS BLOATED, when he is running 101 processes ---

but it’s only hi because your used to seeing 25… Yes, there might be more stuff running, i’m not going to argue with you there. But…you are just looking at the running process and saying it’s bad/slow…when in reality it’s just as quick, if not quicker than xp (imo). ---

It is the fastest storage in the machine. oh, and one more thing, this is just so that you can compare a unix based OS to a Vista output. I am not stating that the mac is better. In fact, a lot of the usages are very similar. edit: one last thing. Just because you have process “running”, does not mean that they are using a significant amount of processor time. You should compare the average cpu time of the processes on the XP machine to that of the Vista machine. ---

vista is just rubbish, I cant wait to go back to xp. I look at it from this point of view. IF xp was = to windows 98 Vista would be = to windows ME meaning everytime Mr Gates gets it right he has to release an OS that FAILS misserably to remind us how good we have it. ---

Umm no… ME is based off of 98… and 95… XP is based off of NT/2000 Vista is a pretty XP with newly re written security and networking Plainly put your analogy sucks ---

Actually, higher memory usage means that there is a better chance that when a process needs some amount of data, that it won’t have to do a HDD Read/Write. It is more of an issue of memory management. How does the OS determine what should stay in memory, and what should be written back to the HDD when memory is getting low? Higher memory usage is a good thing. What would be the point of upgrading the Random Access Memory in your box if it won’t be used? ---
