Cache memory fills up RAM so I can't play performance heavy games
Hello,
I have a really powerful gaming rig with Intel Core i7 2.8 GHz, Crucial C300 64GB SSD and 8 gigs of RAM which most would think is more than enough to run even the most performance demanding of games. I was playing COD: Blackops the other day and Windows told me it had to close some programs because it was low on system memory. I then saw that 5 GIGS were bound in cached memory and Windows 7 seemingly refused to give them up so I could play the game.
I don't want to hear from people saying that this it's actually a good thing that Windows is using my memory to cache programs and stuff and that it's a process I don't notice at all since it gives it up if you need it. The thing is it DOES annoy me because Windows doesn't give it up and it means I have to restart if I want to play a game that demands only roughly 1 gig of the 8 gigs I have. Also since I have a SSD all my programs load superfast anyways so I really want to find a way to completely shut this really irritating and stupid function off since it annoys me a lot.
Does anyone know of any way around this or a way to maybe make Windows realize that I sometimes need some of the gigabytes of RAM I paid for.
