I would worry if it was the other way around, where instead of Vista using all available RAM, it would have too much free space. This would be wasted memory space. Let’s not forget about Vista’s memory management or SuperFetch. It’s a learning utility that does it best to understands which applications you use the most and then pre-loads these applications into memory so your system can response faster. It even learns which applications you use the most during a certain time of the day or day of the week.
As opposed to Win XP that can leave up to 1GB of available RAM unused, Vista is designed to take full advantage of every available RAM. If when you load up an application there isn’t enough RAM left to execute the command, Vista will automatically free up RAM by sending some of the applications to a page file. I think Vista is much more efficient than its predecessors when it comes to memory usage and if it’s using all available memory, it’s actually a good thing.
This is just my opinion by the way.  |
