    Alien un-l33t ram

    i got 64 megs of Ram for my 450 Mhz AOpen PIII a few months ago to improve upon the existing 64, but the percentage displayed as being used is 40 - 70 % instead of the 60 - 90 % it used to be.
    why?
    p.s. the ram showed as total ram went from 64 to 192
    -logorithmic?

    Now do an Alaman left with your korner... and do sa do...

    You shouldn't base anything on the percentage being used that windows reports.

    You are using less percentage of the RAM coz you have more. If the programs you are running need 50 megs of RAM, and you have 64 megs, thats about 80% being used, but if you have 128 megs, then thats only 40% you are using.
    Life is good. And I feel great. Coz mother says I was, a great mistake.

    Wait a minute. You had 64 + 64 = 128. Where'd 192 come from?

    The % system resources in Windows 95/98 have nothing to do with Memory or memory usage.

    The System Resources refer to a fixed 64k heap.
