Hello everyone, I have researched, memory system cache, or system cache as physical memory.
My computer has 8gb of Ram, when i enter crtl alt & Del, My computer is only using less than 500mb of ram. My CPu is doing most of the work. But its not a big deal since its core 2 duo e6600. In fact the available ram that I have left is too high and should be in system cache to speed up the processes.
Does anybody here have any advice to tell how much memory is my computer using, I do not trust System Cache on task manager anymore,
Crtl + Alt + Del = > performance tab, => physical memory. You know what I mean? Please help me increase the memory on system cache.
im using windows xp 64x good pc,

certain applications aren't memory intensive (fill up the RAM), some just rely on pure CPU power (such as folding at home etc.) what program are you using? why do you need 8gb of ram in the first place? most programs can only take advantage of maybe 2gb...unless youre using some CAD or photoshop..
Alright, I was being greedy and wanted power. The only downside is the operating system itself and 32 bit programs. This is kind of annoying when you use 64bit operating systems.
The problem is the operating systems itself, 32bit vs 64bit. I admit that I did not need that much ram. I have too much that the programs itself are not capable of containing 8gb of ram. it depends on the programs.
Now I have added additional hard drives, i can use windows xp 32 bit and 64 bit, fair enough.

#
Launch a registry editing tool of your choice (regedit.exe or regedt32.exe will do).
#
Advance down to the following registry key: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management
#
In this key double-click on the LargeSystemCache registry value to open a DWORD editor window (default value of 0 = small cache).
#
Change the Hex (hexadecimal) or Decimal value to 1.
Close the registry editor app, and reboot to implement the change.
