The system might be thrashing (swapping lots of pages out to disk) although with 3GB of RAM, that shouldn't happen, unless you have other processes gobbling up RAM. 150 tabs is probably (??) pushing the limits of your 32-bit operating system. Or there's a memory leak in Seamonkey or in one of the add-ons/plug-ins you're using. (One way to test that would be to configure SM to restore your session at start, quit SM, then reopen SM and see if it's still using as much RAM.) I typically have 40-80 tabs open (across 10-15 windows) and I thought I was pushing it... > Uh, where did my 512 MB of RAM, from 3 GB, go then? I was told Video RAM > takes some. I have an old ATI Radeon 4870 video card (512 MB; PCIe). I have the same setup, WinXP + 3GB RAM + 512MB GPU and Process Explorer "sees" all my RAM: Physical Memory (K) : 3 145 200 If you had 4 GB of RAM, then the GPU's RAM might "hide" some of it, because it needs to be mapped below the 4GB mark. >> http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa366778%28v=vs.85%29.aspx > > Hmm, a bit technical and not sure what to do with that. It does look very complex :-( Here's more on the subject: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb613473%28v=vs.85%29.aspx I'm afraid the "easiest" thing to do is to use a 64-bit OS and a 64-bit Seamonkey, but your OS is only 32-bit. If you upgrade to Win7 (the 64-bit version) you might try http://kb.mozillazine.org/64_bit_builds Hold on! They're stuck on SM 2.0 http://wiki.mozilla-x86-64.com/SeaMonkey:Download The one option you have left is trying Seamonkey from Linux!
