How much Memory does your MSN use? by Cronium on 08-25-2004 at 11:16 AM
I dont know if my MSN is abnormal but it seems to use a unusual amount of RAM, alot more then I would expect anyway.
It seems to be using around 26 megs of RAM, with 2 conversations open.
I am using Messenger Plus with 5 plugins. (StuffPlug - NG, Stuffplug, ColourNick,SShot,Xfade)
Windows XP Pro SP2.
Note: I'm not really greedy about the memory (I hav 2gb of ram) but I am curious...

Once again, as I've already said in the past: you can't just open the Task Manager to see what memory any program really uses. Windows could decide to allocate 10Mb to anapplication than only needs 1Mb if it wanted, it's all part of its memory mnagement system and it's very effective. The only way you could knwo what memory is really used is by exausting your system completely. Windows would then be forced to delete all the unused objects, free all the memory that is not really used etc..
