Free RAM is ista is using it to cache system and frequently used files. It
is normal. IF you search this newsgroup there is a lengthy and ongoing
discussion on this matter.

Hi,
It's normal for a program to remain cached in memory for a time after
closure, this is part of the memory management model. If it never gets
released, that is a different problem. If the demands for memory are high,
Vista should release cached code in favor of the immediate demand. As a
general rule, Vista tries to use whatever memory is available to it, even if
it's just for caching frequently used files. Forcing it free is contrary to
design and is likely to slow the system as what is normally cached has to be
reloaded every time it is requested.

hi
i understand that but i have read queries in this newsgroup, people are
still not satisfied with vistas performance with even large chunks of RAM,
top notch system configs and are switching back to Xp. Why so?

Some systems are having troubles due to hardware driver problems and is not
the fault of vVista. As manufacturers start releasing better drivers vista
will start becoming even more stable and much faster than XP. There are
many users who are very happy with Vista(Myself included).

Hi Gurpreet,
What you read here are the occasional issues some hardware and software
configurations have with Vista. Keep in mind that the purpose of this group
is to identify these causes and try to find a solution. So, all that you
will read about for the most part are those that are having an issue. The
millions that are not aren't posting to tell anyone that, they just go about
their normal day. For instance, I am having no performance issues and have
done nothing particularly special on the box being used to post this (4GB of
ram, Ultimate 64-bit, AMD 3400), nor am I having any trouble on the laptop
being used remotely to work from this box (2GB of ram, Home Premium 32-bit,
Turion x64).
One of the chief problems seen here aren't performance issues caused by
Windows, but rather those caused by users. The root problems are often:
- Misconfigured hardware, whether timing (overclocking) or other BIOS
settings
- Use of older, non-capable hardware
- Faulty/flakey ram
- Modifications to the memory manager based on misinformation (like manually
capping the paging file or installing third party memory managers)
- Installation of non-compliant software, including device drivers
- Installation of malware (encompassing viruses, spyware, etc.)
