Check this theory about Random Acces Memory: I have been using this machine for almost 4 years with 2GB RAM
Lets call STANDBY the state when the computer isnt running anything except for OS and supporting programs in the background. since i have been using WIN7 its RAM usage was around 800-700MB only OS and few background programs (STANDBY) The twaked OS was running with 400-600MB only OS and backgroud programs. IT NEVER REACHED 1.0 GB RAM USAGE in Standby. Yesterday i installed 1 GB RAM so now it has 3GB RAM Now its ram consumption is over 1 GB RAM between 900MB and 1.1GB RAM, when i expected to see the same consuption of 450-700MB it increased the size of the used RAM. my theory is, when the system had 2GB ram it used to work under the paramenters of that restriction, now it has a higher ammount of available ram and the system changes those parameters to work with another restriction, in both case with 2GB RAM and with 3GB ram the system used between 25 to 35% available RAM to waork in the 1st case was 500-700MB now its 900MB -1.1GB. Then that theory that over 4 GB ram are usless isnt so true. Becuase if the System has 8 GB ram available it will modify its paramaters of restriction, my theory is the System adapts itself to the available RAM, its consumes as much as RAM is available, there must be a limit to this... let say 16GB RAM is more than enough becuase there is no commercial OS that could reach those levels of processing and loading requirements. -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
