Memory problem

revan89 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 20:38:24 +0800

Hello, I have a question about the Modified Pages value on a Windows 7 system. Modified Pages seems to grow without bound after a few days of leaving the pc on until it hits the physical memory limit, then the system pretty much grinds to a halt due to low memory. Imagine booting win 7 at 35% RAM usage which increases to bout 70% at idle after 1 day and then 96% after bout 4-5 days

Any idea what's going on? Is there a way to remove cached memory without restarting? Or set some limits?

nvidia 8800GTX

revan89 — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 22:02:58 +0800

I wonder what's the optimum temperature for the 8800GTX. according to the dual core center, the temperature at idle is around 65 degrees. Recently, I've been playing games like Medal of Honor Airborne, the temperature during gameplay increases up to 78 degrees.

Is it rather high at 78? what is the optimum temperature or the max it can go before it burns off
