forum drives cpu usage to 100%

lessee, i know i have the front of my computer somewhere with the sticker (left it pulled apart after dead drive, now i figure its less likely to be pinched if its all over the place ;) )
aw crap, i think its still only 256! maybe time to get some more memory. will it help mame as well? (im on a hp with xp, 2.6ghz)
SirPoonga:
You know, you just need to right click my computer/properties and you can see how much memory you have :)
More memory will help everything.
Do a ctrl-al-delete. Under the performance tab what does it say for physical memory?
What is probably happening is you are filling up your memory and you computer has to spend most of it's time using the pagefile system. That take up a bit of processor and hits your hard drive hard.

It may have been that 'ignore this' thread.
All those quote commands slow my 3Ghz PC down to a crawl.

well, actually i heeded the advice of that heading. i havent looked at that thread! these pics show whats happening. as you can see i just dont care to have much stuff running in the background normally. so you see whats happening with a bit of aphex twin pumpin from the cd player and with nothing at all. im not sure how to read it but the performance tab seems to imply to me that i have 512meg? or not, i dunno. i dont remember putting in extra memory on this pc and the sticker on it says 256...
SirPoonga:
First, the application tab is rubbish. It doen't tell you anything. The processes tab tells you everything that is running.
It does look like you have 512. Right click on my computer and goto properties to find out.
