Hello,

Is there a program anyone knows that will show me what's sucking up my ram? Similar to the 'top' command in unix?

I'm running Win 98, have 256MB of ram, and this past week I've noticed that system resources are at less than 50% a few minutes after boot - even if I'm just browsing the Internet. This never was the case. (I'm getting the system resources info from Windows Explorer -> Help -> About Windows dialog box)

I've scanned for viruses and spyware and came up clean with both. The task manager box is showing nothing unusual running, and msconfig shows no new loading-upon-boox programs.

It's getting to the point where I'm having to reboot every now and then to maintain enough free ram. Help!

Thank you.
