Why am I using so much memory?
Posted by: equant on 2009-06-27 17:00:36
I received an LC475 running 7.1P and the system software was using 32Mb out of 36Mb. I did a clean install of 7.5.3 and it's just as bad. Surely it should be using less? I checked virtual memory, and it's off. Can anyone help me figure out what's going on?

Thanks.

Is it in 24-bit mode? You need 32bit mode to see more than 16Meg.

Holy smokes that was it. Thanks porter.
