Hey guys so I wandering if you could help me with some speed issues.
So first I will start with my system:
Asus P4C-800 Deluxe
Intel Pentium 4, 3.4 ghz (not overclocked)
1 gb Dual Kingston ram (2x512mb)
BFG Nvidia Geforce 6800GT (overclocked)
two hard-drives (120gb+200gb)
and a 450w power supply (i think or its 400w lol)
So basically I have a reasonable system right?
So what seems to happen is when i start my computer, and i check how much ram im using, it says im already using 360 mb ALREADY! I do start it up with a few programs (like 4 or 5), but they dont take up that much ram.
I also noticed while running my computer normally, that explorer takes up 30mb of ram and so does Rtvscan (anti-virus) whilst firefox takes up between 30-150mb of ram.
This is when I have a lot of programs open so you can say just dont open anything. So I closed everything except my antivirus, my UPS program and Daemon tools, had winamp running and opened Fifa 2006 and it lagged like a *****!
Anyway so I know my computer should be much faster and more capable of running more programs so what can I do?
