Safe Mode?
Laptops seem to run at least 50% more services, than Desktops.
I wouldn't worry about the RAM usage you mentioned (at this point anyway).
For example, FF with 23 tabs open (on my PC):
- "Private Bytes" = 400 MB
- "Working Set" = 425 MB
- "Virtual Size" = 700 MB.
- Is it still unusable, when you have nothing running except Windows services (no programs)?
- Does it play DVDs properly, using your optical drive?
- Is your HDD running constantly/excessively?
- Do you have the same problems, if you run your laptop in "Safe Mode"?
