86% of Windows 7 PCs Maxing Out Memory
I don't have Windows 7 as an OS, but I have been wondering why my relatively new computer (specs below) with MS Vista 64 uses so much memory.
Computer (desktop, home)
- From: Cyberpower
- CPU: Intel Core i7 920 @ 2.67 GHz
- MOB: ASUS X58 P6T SLI
- Audio: Audiotrak - Prodigy HD2
--- Output #1) to Dell LCD computer speaker bar
--- Output # 2) to RCA outs to Russound house system
- Video: ATI Radeon HD 4870
- Monitor: Dell 2408WFP - 24" LCD
- Memory: 6 GB DDR3 PC13333
- OS: Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit - SP1
- Media Player: WinAmp 5.56
With a few to several windows open it can quickly get up to 85% memory usage.
I've wondered if I should get more memory?
Thoughts?
