How much memory are you using at bootup in win2k?

[Barnaby W. Füi]

i think i set a personal record here at 70MB!

and that is with zonealarm, vcool, and desktopx!

i wonder what it'd be without desktopx..........

wow my pc is under load all the time even on startup im doing around 200 megs hahaha (98) useing cacheman 5.0 all thoe i say if you got 512 of ram then let it be use after all why didya buy it eh............

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

turns out w/o desktopx it's like 66MB

sure if you got 512 then thats plenty however if you are using 50MB of memory on stuff you never use, then what is the point of that?

When win2k was installed, i believe it used up about 60-70 megs of ram by default.

I have over 100 megs used after the hard drive stops thrashing. That's according
to task manager.

<< used after the hard drive stops thrashing. >>

About 70 megs. Hits around 100 megs w/ a bunch of background applications, a couple of IE windows, Cookie Pal, Popup Killer, Daemon Tool, and stuff.

daemon tools rules 😀

A fresh install with some unneeded crap removed/disabeled typically runs me around 55 MB.
