Reducing Windows 7's Memory Consumption
Hello,
I'm not much of a techno-hero, so I don't know a terrible lot about the inner-workings of computers, but I do have a question.
MyPresario CQ62-214NR came packaged with 2GB of RAM. When I began installing games on it, I discovered that Windows eats 3/4 of that memory for use with other software. My father, the techno-geek of the family, says that it doesn't need nearly that much, but isn't sure how to change the usage, since the computer's boot menu doesn't have an option to do so.
If anyone has an answer, I would like to know how to reduce the memory usage down to about 512MB.
Thanks.
