gordesky1 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 ok while i was looking in task manager i saw that i have 2242 free and 961 cached and it says 4086 total and i was wondering why the cached and free doesint add up to the total ram?? its also useing 1.29gb of ram right now but if you add that up with thoes two it would be over 4gbs. in everest it shows right free is 2702 used 1382 and that adds up to 4086. so is that just how vista managements memory? does anyone else taskmanager doesint add up to the total 4086? i also check my laptop asus g50vt-x5 with 4gb of ram and vista 64bit and the cached and free also doesint add up to the total amount of ram. i just want to make sure i dont have bad memory sticks or something lol Link to post Share on other sites
AdamMAXIS Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So Everest is reporting that you're missing 10 MB of RAM? Link to post Share on other sites

stormy13 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 http://www.hardcoreware.net/windows-vistas...ferent-from-xp/ and if that isn't enough just look up Vista Memory Management. Link to post Share on other sites

stormy13 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yep. You really want to get confused by those numbers try Windows 7, and that is with it showing ~30% memory usage (actual physical memory being used that is). Link to post Share on other sites
