Hey guys, i have a system running 2 gigs of ram and i want to upgrade but i wanna see if it is wirth it.

On idal vista uses 900-1000mb
with 2 gigs installed,

Im on my friends rig, an he has 6 gigs, and it is using
2300mb on idal

How much does vista use with 4 gigs of ram on idal?
And how much when doing simple stuff like internet/music/videos

Can someone post this?
 
+1 on the 32 or 64 bit question. If you only have 32bit, your computer can only physically see ~3gb of it anyway.
Not sure about Vista, but with windows 7 I'm usually using about 800mb to 1.25gb with doing everyday tasking and internet.
 
I am running Vista Home Premium 64bit and it uses about 600 - 700MB at idle. I have 2 x 2 GB installed.
 
I'm using 1.56GB here with 51 processes running. Vista Ultimate x64. I've been too lazy to go through and deal with the extra processes and services :P
 
I'm using 2.3GB out of my 3.25GB's but I have 73 process running 2 of which is taking up over 270mb a piece. I usually only use around 1-1.5GB's but my stupid torrent downloader and steam is a memory hog.
 
I've got 39 processes running and usage is at 720MB... goes down to ~400mb when idle.
IMO, you need 2gb of RAM just to run vista and apps smoothly...
 
Thx guys, i think ill get another 2 gigs or ram, just cause, it bothers me when im running crysis, and its at about 1,900mb almost filled :/. thx guys

o i have 32 bit, i know i can only use like 3.25gigs but that 1.25gigs may come in handy :)
 
That happens to me... when i play crysis usage goes all the way up to 1.8gb. More RAM never hurts (unless it's defective! ;))
