[QUOTE="OokamiCreed, post: 405706, member: 36266"] Typically 32bit will run about 1.5GB on idle. 64bit uses around 1.5 to 2.1GB on idle. It's an estimate. I run 6GB of RAM myself and it never even goes over 5GB of used RAM. Stays under 4.5GB and I do a lot of multitask work. Used RAM can be offloaded to the page file (which Windows takes care of on its own) which can reduce RAM by pushing that used RAM usage into disk then back into RAM when you start using that program again. Note: This probably isn't the best way to word it. Someone else could probably word the work of the page file better. [/QUOTE]
