Whistler n ram usage
It's 2296 here and yes it's great, but there is one thing for sure that 128 mb ram is not enough, at fresh boot there is only 26 mb physical ram free. I tried 2dmark2000, it results good, near to 9x and far better than 2000 but while testing my ibm dta-100 drive works like crazy, never seen it like that before, and ...

As I guess this is bc physical ram isn't enough and uses swap more...
The good thing is ram pricez are going down...

LoL , I never thought about it but yes it may be true, microsoft has the power to control ram pricez or affect them. Btw , I was using 7.17 nvidia drivers, now I switched back to 6.47 w2k drivers and wawwww
yeah still some ram problem but score is great, 7718 3dmark2000 default test. This is perfect. I think after nvidia puts out a great directx 8.0 drivers score will improve more..
I feel very happy today guyz, bc today is the day I really feel that I'm using the right os....

er, thatd be, .. um.. 192 meg yes?
tis what iv got. with default services (havnt bothered to tweak yet) with whistler professional a my bare set up statup apps, 100 meg of ram is being consumed. but given the executive paging, theres more than 92 meg physical free. after 'net connection and iv loaded up 2 mircs, a few IE's, outlook, icq, etc etc etc, everythign is using around 150 meg ram. not too bad really. about 20-30 meg over what win2k did at the same stages.

trust me, it consumes very little RAM on my system. Maybe it's because I have 8 years of troubleshooting and tweaking under my belt. I love when people have problems that I never have, it's funny. Just end it, my system is running fine with it, so why should I care?
My system:
Athlon 550 Mhz
192 MB RAM (not 196, lol)
16 MB RivaTNT
and this was when I was running Whistler Personal.

ahhhh, I see what you mean now. May want to think about shutting off some of those svchost.exe that are running, there should only be one of them running anyways, must be a bug or something. Anyhow, disable them. Cause on fresh boot, i'm using 78 MB of my RAM already, when I turn those svchost.exe files off, I have lots of RAM left. There is where the confusion came into effect
one trick i just learnt, on the cd, in Support/Tools, is a program called tlist, run it from the command prompt as tlist -s. and it will show you what services are running under each SVCHost, matched with its PID. find the big ones in task manager, check em in tlist, and see if you really need that particular service.
Yeah I have 128 megs of ram and whistler 2296 pro and after fresh boot im left with about 26 megs also hmm dont know why. My problem is that I cannot get any 3d accelleration with my Matrox g450 32 meg. Im using the latest win2k pro drivers which work perfect in win2k pro but give me no 3d acceleration under 2296. any ideas?
