8 GB RAM in my vista ultimate box, not running much in terms of apps.
free physical memory showing up as 18 MB (fluctuates slightly between teens and 30MB).
2GB RAM on XP pro, also not running much but has 843372 Available Physical Mem (so about 800MB available).
is it a difference in terminology or the way the OS reports mem?
is XP swapping to disk more?
or does Vista just use a ton more memory?
