    Can any1 send me a link to a tweaked version of win 7 which is very well tweaked. I am using a laptop with xp as a downloading box and xp uses the whole 1 gig of ram even when i am just browsing. Also the laptop is as hot as an oven.

    I've yet to experience a decent "slimmed down" Windows 7.
    Maybe one day, not today.

    You're looking at loss of network, wireless printing, SP1 update ect. If you can't run an untouched ISO don't bother with what's offered.

    My bet is a dead or dying CPU fan, or blocked ducting to the CPU for the oven impression, and an OS in desparate need of a reformat as far as the RAM allocation goes.

    artemis i have a 4 year old laptop and i agree with your impression of the cpu fan as the duct for cooloing pumps out very hot air. But the impression is because of its hard disk which is very hot as i keep it on 24/7 for downloading. I download using jdownloader. Could java be the reason for ram usage being so high.

    Java per se already demands quite a lot of RAM, and jDownloader uses a maximum heapsize of 512MB by default, which doesn't make things any better. If you're constantly downloading things, I have two suggestions for you.
    1. use the following shortcut to launch jD instead of jDownloader.exe:
    Code:
    "%programfiles%\Java\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xmx64m -jar "D:\JDownloader\JDownloader.jar"
    That will limit the heapsize to 64MB, which may not eat as much memory. People also use it for Azureus, although the process is slightly different there.
    2. in the program, go to Settings -> Download & Connections -> Advanced, and set the max. buffer size (in the right panel) to 2000. This may reduce disk access depending on your connection speed.

    Also, note that the high heat and lack of memory could also be caused by (an)other program(s) demanding many resources and overtaxing the processor. The Task Manager will help you check who's doing what.

    Hope it helps.

    windows 7 x64 (64 bits because memory - my pc is with 14GB RAM DDR3) - Windows 7 is best of all, wait for windows 8 and I'll see. LOL

    i am not able to paste this destination instead of the shortcut destination of jdownloader. It is just not accepting the address.
    The only other program which eats so much ram is firefox
