I'm using w2k on an older ibm thinkpad 760 (81 meg) and need to be
careful of memory usage. Can someone please recommend a god monitor
program

TIA

never mind, cachmanxp on the pricelessware site is just the thing

FWIIW, of the 80 MB avaivalble about 33 are used by the system and its
services, and about 3 for vnc to remote computer ( the ap I'm
interested in) leaving about 40mb free

Who know that w2k used so few resources, I'm tempted to further
optimize the sytem services to get it down a bit more, using
blackvipers recommendations

Now for the browsers, firefox 0.9 is 16 mb. ieexplorer6.0 is ~10 MB.
Hmmm so much for switching to firefox. If someone knows a browser with
small memory needs, please let me know

w2k doesnt need external programs
C:\WINNT\system32\TASKMGR.EXE
just put a shortcut in autorun, keep it in the tray when minimized, and
select to show also the virtual memory usage column.
i use it always and it's ok when playing with vb, photoshop and irfan.
hth, ciao, j.

Hi javalab,
is that column "Dimensione memoria virtuale" in Italian?
Thanks,

ciao maria luisa :)
yes, that means the swapfile size, quella s/caricata man mano su/da disco.
i always keep in mind that ram works in nanoseconds, harddisks in
milliseconds...
you can see its growth, f.i., using irfan for making thumbnails of an image
folder.
ciao, andrea

A major part of IE's capacity needs are covered by Win2K itself, and
are already loaded at startup. No wonder it reports less memory use
than Firefox.

But there are other and more important reasons to switch to Firefox.
Read the latest news on the JavaScript vulnerabilities in IE, read
the latest CERT advise to switch to another browser. On top of that,
there's tabbed browsing, popup blocking, bookmark keywords and a
whole shebang of extensions available.

Just my 2 cents,
Wald

Opera or K-Meleon. I use Opera in an old Pentium 233. Better than IE.
