Why are these programs using so much memory? Look at the first 4 applications running.
Maybe they were always running or I just noticed them, but why are they using 700+k memory?????????
That's quite a bit!
700+k for my Razer mouse application? | My System Specs |

700+k for my Razer mouse application? 700k is less than 1 megabyte. 1000 megabytes makes up a gigabyte. I still think that you should disable these applications from starting when your pc starts. To do so click start, then type msconfig, then press enter. Once msconfig comes up, click on the startup tab and uncheck everything except your antivirus and anything that has nvidia, intel, or amd in the name of the entry. If you have any questions about which startup programs to disable, just post back in this thread. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number HP Pavilion P7-1010 OS Windows 7 Professional x64 Service Pack 1 CPU AMD Athlon X4 645 Motherboard Foxxcon N-Alvorix RS880 Memory 6GB DDR3 1066 Graphics Card Sapphire Radeon HD 5670 512MB Sound Card Realtek Integrated Audio Monitor(s) Displays HP 2011x Screen Resolution 1600x900 Keyboard HP OEM- Made by Chicony Mouse HP OEM- Made by Logitech PSU Seasonic S12 II Bronze 380 Watt Case HP OEM Cooling Coolermaster Heatsink, AVC Case Fan Hard Drives 1.

looks pretty normal to me, only using 44% out of your 2gbs. It's not slowing you down is it? If it isn't don't worry about it 956k isn't much compared to your google chrome or norton anti-virus. | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop System Manufacturer/Model Number me OS Windows 7 Home premium 64bit CPU AMD Phenom II X4 925 (Deneb) OC 3.4GHz Motherboard M5A78L-MLX Plus Memory 8192MB RAM DDR3 1600 Graphics Card XFX HD 6870 1GB (Connected via HDMI) Monitor(s) Displays Polaroid TLAC-02255 22" Digital HD LED TV and 17"LED Monitor Screen Resolution 1920x1080 60Hz / 1280x1024 60Hz Keyboard Microsoft USB Comfort Curve Keyboard 2000 (IntelliType Pro) Mouse Logitech Optical Gaming Mouse G400 PSU CORSAIR CX600 600w Case AZZA Orion 202 EVO with 3fans and a corsair af fan Cooling cooler master hyper TX3 cpu cooler Hard Drives 500gb hdd 7200rpm Western Digital Internet Speed 5.22Mbps download 0.65Mbps upload Antivirus Comodo Internet Security Browser IE 10 |

I should disable "Startmen Application" on start up?
Also, what about these,
Razerhid application
Adobe Acrobat
Windows Defender
The only things left to start up are Java and My audio manager.
EDIT.
