Useful tip for XP & RAM usage checking

[CTho9305]

I just found this out recently... in task manager, the processes tab, go to the view menu, select columns, and select virtual memory usage. It helps when something is making your pagefile huge and you can't figure out what it is (such as AIM using 1 gig virtual memory :disgust:.)

thanks for the tip, but what version of AIM are you running? Im running 4.3.2229 for like 2 weeks and it shows mine as 4,000K.

4.7.2190 or something like that... every message sent or received would increase usage by ~200k. I'm now using 5.x.
