    svchost instances and ram


    i have about 10 svchost processes running and one of them uses about 150mb ram, is this correct for windows 7?, i'm comparing with xp which shows less instances of svchost and none using more than about 30mb , not sure how it is in vista, is it similar to w7 on svchost usage?

    thanks for the screengrab, thought there could be some problem but it's all good then, it is just w7 that uses more resources it seems

    Two extremes there. I'm somewhere around the middle, I guess. But Mr Grim's svchosts do seem a little high??

    A lot of the 'services' that can be disabled in Vista apply to Windows 7 also, not all, but most of them. :)

    Have a look at the excellent Blackviper site, which has been updated for Windows 7 services now.

    You can disable a good deal of stuff there and get they processes down

    Better to use his "safe" options until you are sure you are not disconnecting any "linked" services. I had a bit of grief with that site in the early Vista days until I found my way around Vista
