Speed_Gibson, from the research I've done, Vista and Windows 7 use a lot of memory "just sitting there." But both Os's release RAM as quickly as apps need it. My Windows 7, 64 bit, install uses one GB of my 2 GB just sitting there after a system boot. But when I'm running PS, several tabs in FF/Chrome, etc all at the same time I rarely go over 70% used. So it does seem to be the truth. XP for the most part just used what it absolutely needed. Can anybody else add to this?
