Weekend Open Forum: How many processes are running right now?

I'm sitting at 77 right now.

i have 61 running right now but normally i don't pay attention to it.

23 proc

u dont really need more than that

I have 72 processes running. I don't pay attention to it anymore. When I computer was dirt slow I used to get rid of them constantly.

Indeed. Unless you want to....ya know...do stuff.

77

112

118, i had 142 when i had 2 users logged on. Using 3.24 GB of RAM right now out of 6 GB (realistically 5.80). Also note that I use Intel HD Graphics (1st gen), which can take at most 1.5GB from RAM.

I remember the thread you are referring to i think. I believe it was Mictlantecuhtli that had it down to 16 processes or something around there.

Right now I have 59 Processes running. I try to keep a Clean Machine.

69...how fortuitous.


My primary rig is running at 0 presently

/waits for Guest to post negative five in order to show me how it's done.

Well, including the 9 tabs I have open in Chrome, i'm at 101...don't even know what half of this stuff is, lol. I know some of it is ASUS software, and some of it is skinning programs, but more than half of it is stuff that i've never seen...might need to check up on some of this. But hey, CPU is only hovering between 5 to 10 percent, and RAM around 25-30 (never reaching more than 60, and that's when I have a game going...I have a feeling most of the RAM usage is coming from the skinning programs). Still, I should probably look into some these and see what's in there that's useless.

59 with Chrome open... I like my computer doing what I want it to.

Ah, thanks for posting that. Now I know why I sit around 2GB usage. Never thought of INTEL HD Graphics using 1.5gigs. Guess my programs aren't using as much as I thought they were (i have the same amount of RAM as you....for now. Hope to replace the 2 gig card with a 4 gig in the next month or 2 to get the full 8 that this laptop can handle. Do I need that much? Probably not, but it'll make me feel better

Well, right now I have 39. I could kill the printer, spool server, and jqs.exe. When I close the task manager, that would be 35.

Does this mean it's true what they say, I really don't have a life?.....

Ever since Intel 915 graphics, which would set aside up to 244MB (?), one might guess that number would go up in concert with improved graphics. But, 1.5 GB is a truly unexpected number.....! Intel uses a set aside for graphics number which is based on available RAM. So, the fact that a large amount you've to begin with, most likely leads to this outcome. Sort of like tropical fish growing to the size appropriate to their tank.

Well right now 46. But its usually about 60.

Yes..
Sadly now...there can be but one outcome.

...On the bright side, It seems Chef is getting on swimmingly.

I'm still confused. Should I jump off a bridge, or just download some malware.....

77 right now.

According to Soluto, I run 63 processes when starting.
