    How do I reduce RAM usage


    Hi all,
    I'm new to sevenforum. I hope you all can help me with this problem I have. I have Dell laptop of 2GB ram.
    Even though before I start any application my ram goes more than 60%. After when i start using applications (specially Chrome) it goes more than 80%. And also laptop gets damn hot. Earlier CPU usage was also high... thanks to one of the threads on sevenforum I was able to reduce it. I would be very glad if anyone could help me with this issue. ( Sorry for my language. I'm not that fluent in English and IT as well).

    Thanks before hand.:)

    First off more or less ram has very little to do with heat.
    Second using ram is good that is why its there.
    Third if your Dell Laptop #???? was able to have more ram installed that is what I would recommend up to 4 gig with your 32 bit system.
    This might help you with your desire. Read through it and see if you can use any of the suggestions.
