Re: Firefox... argh!

Well this is interesting.

Task Manager reports Physical Memory:

Total 2045
Cached 1487
Free 68

But when I calculate the total memory taken up by processes it does not go over 700MB in total? The memory bar in task manager says it's at 684MB used out of 2045MB total. So why am I being reported such a small amount for free physical memory?

Firefox's memory keeps building and building in size the longer I have the browser open and the more pages I keep clicking. It starts off at 15,000K and a while ago was at 330,000K after loading around 10 pages in one go.

I've just closed Firefox and its gone back to around the 15,000K of memory usage at the moment.

Thanks for the help I'm going to try a disk defrag now to see if it helps.
