I have 1 GB of Dual channel RAM (2 * 512 MB RAM)

And I'm not that much of a Gamer. But do have a decent "Geforce 6800 GT"

Now I'm using Win XP Sp2... and would like to make my computer a lil more efficient.

Usually my RAM is empty like 600 MB or something... is there anyway i can use it, or tweak... to utilise and use my RAM to max.

You know some windows thing ? i can do for RAM

I think u can set the priorities of the processes going on in the Task manager to realtime instead of normal, that would do so I suppose. But why would u need to do it, the applications are getting enough of want they want!

Application will use all the RAM they can find & need. Don't worry about 600MB being free, it is normal

Use windows vista if you want your RAM to be used properly.

What do you mean by declaring it crap. Vista handles ram efficienty. Do you have other advice or are you here to spam.

If you want your PC to do some work when its idle and use the Idle RAM,care to crunch for us ? :p

Check here - Team THL @ WCG

Atleast your PC would be doing some useful and constructive work. :)

Hey thanks for all your inputs... and i did find that suggestion quite funny
lol.... "use VISTA... if you want to use all your RAM"

he he he... anyways i shall look into programs such as "SETI" and "WCG"

i mean... i end up sugin like 5 to 6 hours of computer... with just chatting...
at least my "core2duo" and all that wasted RAM will do something !!!

I'm one of those Guilty "who don't buy for their NEED but for GREED" he he he

Thanks... Gsoul

depends on what u want to do with it if u are clueless.. just do one thing enable file swapping to the ram not the hard disk ! that ways u can enjoy faster application response and yeah ur ram meter with show 30% increment in the utilization ...

make it a server for the winamp .. or may be a gaming rig will be fine

even i got a 1 gb ram but i found out the hard way trying to get greedy and trying to utilize the ram to the max does put a lot of wear and tear on the system. nearly a year back i used to run like 30 apps. *ahem* game *TOBS* for my friends..... then after a few weeks of this my pc crashed. this was done under lot of well maintained environment .
ther is nothing wrong in letting ur ram with some free Memory.
