    Memory usage on performance tab of task manager


    Hi folks,

    So just wanted to check something.

    I was doing a very long flight on FSX (15hrs).

    Max ram usage was only 5.6gb but just before decent I thought I'd just check the performance tab of the task manager and I had the below figures:

    Total physical memory 16GB
    Cached = 10gb
    Available=10.6gb
    Free= 46mb by time I landed.

    I read somewhere that's its available ram that is key & I had plenty of that left.

    Can someone just confirm everything is normal.

    Many Thanks,
    Chris

    Free memory should be low, zero being the optimum.
    Available memory is important and you have no shortage of that. I see nothing wrong.

I am currently using MemClean and it not only decreases my memory use but it also seems to improve the general performance of Windows and apps. Is this really the case or is it just my impression?
