Nowadays 20-30 megs of ram does not seem to be alot, but I don`t seem to be using that much. :blink:
same process names as GIANT!
them unimaginative bastards
even counterspy had em changed
Damn, I just notice firefox is using 36 megs.
i noticed FF can be retarded with RAMQuote:

here it is after a reboot,
not as bad, but...still about 20 MB
and when i noticed the 58MB my pc had only been on about 3 hrs or so

hmmmm........
now its been running all night and only using 20 MB.....

Trivia: the technology behind the Giant brand has been proprietary of SunbeltSoftware all along. All three products (MS, Giant, Counterspy) share the same engine and .dll resources.Quote:

or....heres a thought....maybe it ran up on usage..because...it was working! :ohmy:
hehehe, dont pay any attention to that last comment,
thats just me being me, i like to take shots at M$ :lol:
even though i use their OS, office, anti-spy, etc....
ok, i'll hush now i think....ooh look! a pink elephant!
*runs out the back while everyone looks*
:P
I am just as guilty when it comes to taking shots at the almighty M$ empire. I pretty much utilize the same products. And like alot of other people, am happy when they work as they are supposed to... and not so happy when they do not. :D
I chucked out approximately a cool grand for my PC setup... I'll be god-damned if I don't expect everything to run "up-to-snuff". And if I see something not in the "norm", I am going to hit the panic button, pounding on this !@$#? keyboard, crying like alittle girl, until it's all better again.
I never really thought about it........ till that @##$% FKDUP74, mentioned it . :D
@Izagaia , Is that American dollars or Canadian funny money ? :)
USD, peat. ;)
