Quote - You switched from Vista 32 to Windows 7 64 right?
How much memory does it use from your 8 Gb at startup, with the default services loaded and no other process selected?
I am considering upgrading too (from Vista 64).
Nope, from Windows XP.
Disclaimer: the first step I did after installation was to change Windows to the 'Optimized for speed' setting, so my RAM usage values are without all those visual gimmicks Aero offers.
After normal start-up, with a running local RenderCow service, about 1.200 MB were used.
After removing some unnecessary services the value decreased to about 900 MB used.
I guess there's some more room for improvement, but I'll wait until the Windows experts find out more before I render my computer useless by removing an essential service.
