cpu usage question
« on: November 13, 2009, 03:59:27 AM »
I use 4 computers - hard.

I use Memory Improvement Master to tell me when I'm working too hard.

My quad core Vista Machine maxes out it's CPU with 67% memory use

My dual core CPU with with Vista in safe mode varies, sometimes maxing it out the CPU, other times not.

But my single core machine with XP home uses 96% of its memory but never goes over 6% on CPU usage. 

Page file usage is about 50% in all three.

I bought a new computer with Windows 7 and a dual CPU and although I haven't put Memory Improvement on that computer  the way it handles its work load tells me it isn't doing anything spectacular.

So should I revert all my Operating Systems to XP home or is there another issue I should consider? And will upping the memory in the XP Home machine make that stellar?

What you should do is stop using Memory Improvement Master (whatever that is) and just let the computers do their jobs. Unless you are experiencing some specific problems do not worry about or interfere with OS memory management.

Also, you're mixing up CPU usage with RAM usage. Which one is it, you're talking about?

Can the op please give the correct name of the program he is using?
I can not find it in Google.

Whatever he uses, it's, as Allan said, unnecessary garbage.
