The power of linux

You mean not-doing-anything-still-using-600MB?

I used to have my WinXP box ran on 128MB of RAMBUS.

Used to run linux in 4MB on a 386SX...

I had a raspberry pi without any RAM at all. Who's next?

No, watching 45 GB Movie on second monitor while having chrome open... Compare that to fresh installed 3,5 GB Ram sucking Windows 7!

@vortexman100 How long has your computer been running?

Free memory is a bit pointless (why have it if its not being used?) so linux (and possibly other OS's, I dont know?) will use it as a disk buffer cache until its needed elsewhere...

So even if your system isn't running many user processes, it memory can still appear to be used up because its been buffering disk blocks for months.

I think thats how it works anyway!

The problem is that you can do nothing with that free ram, no gaming, no heavy media work.... Maybe one day...

@flouss What do you mean? You can run 25 VMs

Not what I had in mind...

@flouss not trying to read your mind mate, no idea what your thinking

@nocgod Sorry :(
