Use of the high memory in Windows Vista

I have a PC laptop Vista with 1 GB of RAM (I know I should get more!) that runs very slowly.

The problem seems to be that the History graph to use physical memory in Task Manager shows continually near maxed out - usually 90% or more.

No a process indicates an abnormally high consumption (SVCHost is the highest in 40 000 K with "show processes from all users' selected).

I defragmented and run several scans of antimalware (analyzers Microsoft, Spybot, Malwarebytes, Superantispyware, etc.) and everything is displayed 100% clean.

I've disabled Aero, transparency, the sidebar and disabled the services as Windows Search, Superfetch, Readyboost, and with little effect.

I have run MSConfig and booted the system with everything off, and while the memory usage is a little lower, it is still very high.

It's the analysis of PCPitstop which was done WITHOUT running programs other than Internet Explorer 7: "this system had a total memory load of 82% during the tests. This often indicates that more programs were running that could be managed by the RAM installed. »

Here are the typical numbers in the Task Manager!

Vista is a memory hog. As you noted, you don't have enough RAM and he's never going to run smoothly with only 1 GB. Increase of at least 2 GB. You can also run the free process monitor utility to see what is eating your processor cycles.

  • Use of the high memory on Windows 7 without reason...

    Hello, I had recently a few problems with my computer after going on vacation for a week and turn it off.  When I got home my computer has had some problems of high memory use, I have no idea why.  I looked in my processes tab and it shows that Svchost.exe as the highest [150K] usage, but is not a lot to slow down computers.  Nothing else under it attracts a lot of use, I tried to disable my anti-virus [Norton] and it still didn't work.  All my drivers are up to date.

    Yes, you can do it. The minimum must be large enough to contain an image of the core. If the maximum is too small, you will get the unpleasant results.

    How to troubleshoot the depth to find the cause of the heavy memory usage. ?

    Thank you

    hitgon

    Hello

    vmstat-s

    This will give a more detailed overview. Search for active/inactive values and used swap. If active memory is close to the total memory and you have a larger amount of used swap, then you might have the memory pressure.

    If the Exchange is not used much, and you have the right percentage of inactive memory, then linux could easily swap memory without a performance problem. In this case, the pressure of memory is very likely.

    For a report very detailed on the use of single process

    PMAP pid - x

    M and the press allows you to sort by memory use. If you are using pmap on bigest processes, then you should have a good starting point was that your memory has disappeared.

  • Use of the high memory - system idle

    Hello world!

    I have a problem of large memory with esxi 3.5 on my server to test at home.

    I'm under a Core2Duo on an Intel 965 Board. Storage controller is an Adaptec 2910SA.

    As the performance with 4 Windows VM (1 x Server Core as MS, 1 x Server 2003 WSUS Server, 2 x Server 2008 file server) was very poor, I doubled the memory of 4 GB to 8 GB. Unfortunately, the performance is still very poor and I wonder that the memory usage is to 5GB with no virtual machine performance.

    I read a lot these days and tried a number of things as the allocation of resources system, but nothing has worked.

    Should I do when the upgrade of memory? Maybe change a file of configuration or something like that?

    Thanks in advance and best regards,

    Steve

    Hello

    Welcome to the VMware community forums.

    You don't have to do anything about it either beyond adding memory in your machine, so no need to change additional settings.

    I read your topic before and remember that it has been resolved with an update of the BIOS firmware, but I could be wrong and if so, I hope someone will correct me.

    If you start a computer virtual is the memory usage goes up? The reason I ask is because I wonder if it's just an aesthetic matter.

  • Use of the high memory when multiple tabs are open (and closed)

    When I open Firefox memory usage is around 70-100 MB RAM. When I work with Firefox I often open 15-20 tabs at once, then I close them and open others. Increaes of use up to 450-500 MB RAM memory. After the closing of tabs use decreases normally, but after some time. He begins to decrease very slowly and never returns to the level from the beginning. After a few hours Firefox uses about 400 MB of RAM, even if only one tab is open. First I thought it's because of my plugins (Firebug, Speed Dial, Adlock more) but I have checked and it is not. I reinstalled Firefox but the problem occurs as well. I don't know if this is normal. Could you help me, please?

  • Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows vista?

    Why an amplification of the RAM does not change the index performnance of windows Vista?

    Hello

    I m not very well, but maybe you have more than 3 GB of RAM and Vista 32 bit.
    Usually the 32 bit OS is capable to manage and send only 3.2 GB.
    The more than 3.2 GB RAM will not operating system used and therefore would not increase the index
    In addition the laptop will be not really faster after upgrading RAM. You will notice better performance using applications at the same time, but this does not affect the index of Vista.
