    My System Idle Process sits on 99.

    Firefox is using 3x what my IE is using with 3 screens open but I did read somewhere that Firefox had memory leak problems.

    What is CCAPP.EXE????
    My svchost.exe (I have 2) seem to run about 5000K each.

    My explorer.exe runs at 4392 K.

    What is your overall memory usage, read it from the bottom of your taskmanager.
    Mine is 176524K / 1341172 K.

      CCAPP is part of Norton AntiVirus.

      It doesn't show mem usage on the bottom for me, I don't think. I got Processes, CPU Usage, and Commit Charge. However, in the performance tab I get, under Physical Memory:

      Total: 1048048 K
      Available: 653500

      PC has been on for about 7 minutes.

          A lot of good reports about Kaspersky. [smiley=thumbup.gif]
          A fresh install of Firefox wouldn't hurt but sooner or later everyone will come crawling back to IE. :D

            commit charge  (k&-mit´ chärj) (n.) In the Windows operating system, the name for the amount of physical memory (RAM) and virtual memory that is allocated to all running programs, or applications, and the operating system itself.

              Increasing the virtual memory for your system never hurts, I have mine set at  4 GB and I never have to worry about programs slowing me down.

              That's easy for you to say. I have about 15,8 GB total space in my main HD, and about 2,53 GB of free space, and 64MB of RAM   :-[. I run (or should run) 9 processes (plus idle process) after bootup. My process manager (not the one from windows) says I have "7.00%" of commit charge. Is that good? :-?
