My friend has chosen not to install Plus on his machine as he doesn't want "unnecessary stuff using up memory". While I would normally agree, I looked to see how much memory Plus is using, and its currently an amazingly small 280Kb

Just wondered how much memory people find its using? Easy enough to check in Task Manager for those of us with NT/2000/XP etc, and anyone with a relevant prog on 9x/ME.

Just want to some ammo to use against him. Thanks for the help guys and gals!

at this moment: 328Kb... biggest peek 2556Kb...
(/me slaps Jeronimo's friend)

Mine says 612K.  Even so, Plus! isn't exactly a huge memory stealing resource hogging program...it's an add-on for one.

If your friend thinks that is a lot of space he must be very low on hard-drive space, or is just making up excuses.  Ah well, it's his loss.

memory usage of a program has nothing to do with HDD-space or available RAM (well you can't use more then you have )

btw: I'm very curious of what your friends has as processes, Jeronimo...

508ko

mines using 2,148k at the moment

I know, I got my wires crossed...I've been trying to buy a hard-drive all day, it's melted into my mind.

What I think I meant to say, is that he must be low on memory instead...and if you can't spare a few hundred kb, then .

I agree with you guys, he needs a slap. Means I can't use sounds with him, and the most annoying is not being able to use text formatting with him (bold, colours etc).

I agree that less is more, when it comes to installing stuff, but I think he is just making an excuse. Does him no harm to install it, and would allow him to "Experience the complete Messenger"™.

Nothing I do seems to make that 280Kb increase at the minute

I just made it decrease, but that's because I closed Messenger and Plus! because I'm going to bed...probably a good job judging by my last few posts.

Even so, I don't recall ever seeing the usage figure going higher than three digits...so it's still quite a small amount.
