Windows 7 memory usage

Post by JoeP »

An interesting read and high level explanation of Windows 7 memory usage - The usable memory may be less than the installed memory on Windows 7-based computers.

Thanks! (I'm happy to report that all 8 GB in my Windows 7 64-bit PC are usable :smile:)
Best wishes,
Hans

I'm not claiming that all MY memory is accessible - just that of my PC :innocent:

Hans,
That may explain why you're so happy with your Windows 7.
Nonetheless, I resolved 99% of my Win 7 issues with a clean-install. In particular, I like the Win 7's Clean Install. In fact, most program settings is automatically preserved in Windows.old.
