My system:

Epox 8RDA Nforce2 board
XP 2000+
2 x 256mb PC3200
W2K Pro

At startup, I have approximately 90mb of memory usage according to task manager. I am very picky about what is running in the background, and really don't have "much" installed. I have tweaked the system (startup, services, etc.), but the memory usage seems a little high.

Just curious, but what usage is everyone else getting?

but the memory usage seems a little high.
it's not high and dosent really tell anything about the systems efficiency. did you get that reading of 90 from commit charge under task manager?

I was always looking at the PF (Page File) meter in taskmanager, and after a reboot, it would be at about 65-73megs on Windows XP.

Never bothered to look at the physical memory section :eek:
