Fedora 16 with Gnome 3 at startup consumes 500MB and with several applications 1GB, and I don't think it's a matter of KDE at least before it didn't consume so much RAM more than Gnome if but 4GB?, no.

The key to free up RAM in windows, apart from the programs at startup, is to eliminate services, you look at what you use and you disable the rest of the services. Even so, W7 64bit is difficult to use with 2GB or less of RAM.

Sorry you're right, but what I don't understand is this:

In the top application, it shows that it is using 3800mb and in the system monitor 1.1gb; I don't know what it will refer to with that it has used so many megs in the top…

In top, all the memory used by the system is shown, including the cache. Normally, all the memory is occupied because every time you do any operation (view an image, run a program, copy a file...) all that is stored in RAM in case you do it repeatedly to be faster. For example, if you open Chromium for the first time, it takes a while. If you close it and open it again, it takes much less time. When you close it, the program has stopped consuming RAM although it was still in memory. When the memory that is occupied by a closed program is needed, it is released and used. If you had opened and then closed many programs, or had copied large files, etc., when you ran Chromium again, it would have taken the same time as if you had not run it at all in that session.

Therefore, in TOP, all the occupied memory is shown (including that of programs that are no longer running, files copied, etc.) and the KDE system monitor shows the memory occupied by running programs, that is, memory that cannot be used in any way.

I have explained it well, I do not know if it is understood.

You have explained yourself perfectly ;D and it is understood. Now those values make sense to me.

Around 530MB.

PD: I like the new modifications that are being carried out in Hardlimit (Thank you button, mythical icons :ugly: :troll:, an increasingly complete and interesting community)

Best regards and thanks for the explanation.

I see that we have gone past the year, but the truth is that these branches no longer have enough influx to be annual, they will have to be quinquennial XD

Well, I'm uploading another of my Air, since I cleaned up the google account and cleaned up my screenshots, now I'm putting them on CloudApp a really fantastic service for Mac.

I think this should be a 12 desk already ehh XD.

Yes, but a couple of pages per year is a bit sad, as Bm4n rightly says. Perhaps we could see how many threads we have like this and number this one, for example 'Deskmod - Edition #12' or something like that, although let's see who digs up the archives.

Fassou if that's your desktop, what an encrypted background you have, haha see if you can find it in the browser.
