Q. Win2K doesn't use even half of my memory (RAM)

[Jim Jones]

Hi.

I'd like to know why Windows2K, even running several apps, AND being
on the internet at the same time doesn't use even half of my 400 Meg
of ram, which I just recently increased.

The most of my ram I've ever seen it use at any one time is about 126
or so.

Please advise,

Thanks,
Jim

You don't have a problem.

Jim - you're at the mercy of the mathematics of task dispatching and
resource allocation algorithms, which are pretty efficient. You're just
not stressing the system at all; the system is using all the RAM it
needs, second by second. As Mad Dog said, you don't have a problem.
