Why did total RAM use double after the upgrade? Or is it simply because of how Chrome reserves memory space?
tfw fell for the 32 GiB of RAM meme
Sounds like your install is fucked boyo
windows buffers some shit in the background
>wangbloze
found your problem
>buy 2x8GB of 3000Mhz sticks
>they run at 1066 and hog 20% with clean W7 install and 10 tabs of FF
either I have to do something in BIOS or the universe just profoundly hates me
>W7
Hi grandpa
hi
please tell me how to fix this shit
Sorry too busy playing Fortnite xD
Maybe W7, being deprecated, doesn't support your fancy RAM speed. Or maybe it's your mobo.
your motherboard and cpu are factors in your max supported ram frequency
for instance, i am using am otherboard that supports over 2000mhz and running 2100mhz ram, but my memory runs at 1333mhz because my cpu doesnt support speeds that high
8600k/Z390 Pro4
I did a bit of snooping and saw threads saying that this combo should be able to pull off 4000Mhz, let alone 3000
*Z370 Pro4
Why does no one understand how their OS works?
Google superfetch. Turn it off of if it bothers you
>what is superfetch
>only fell for 16gb
>3
ouch
That's a lot of RAM. What do you use that machine for? Is it a VPS node?
Which do you think is more likely? Go in to the BIOS and set your ram to the right speed for god sake.
DDR3 ECC is dirt cheap
Windows Server hypervisor. Messing around with hyper-v
do you know what was it?
fucking Speccy showing half the freq, like how it shows half of VRAM on GPU's
and they want 15 bucks for the POS
>In use
>37.5GB
Nice server
