Comment on Browser wars – memory view by Netcat

You are making a big mistake on how to measure the used memory of your processes. You read the MemUsage column but your are missing the virtual memory of each process, so it’s only half the truth, in fact even less.

On each OS, if a process memory (measured as MemUsage) reaches a defined size, a part of the memory is mapped into the virtual address space (VirtualMem). So the actual memory used will NOT increase, ‘only’ the virtual memory space increases constantly. Note that also the virtual memory is allocated by the process and it cannot be used by other processes, nor by the system! Virtual memory still is part of the appropriate process.
For MS IE that does not apply as memory is not swapped there.

So if you want know the real amount of used memory, then you have to ADD the values of MemUsage and VirtualMem for each process. To see the virtual memory you also need to display that column in your taskmanager as it is not shown per default. You will see a big surprise.

Comment on Top 5 Laptops for Photographers by Acer

Acer Aspire One AOD150-1165
I was looking for a compact laptop that I could use between home and work and also take on my frequent road trips to visit my family. My biggest gripe about laptops in the past has been the short battery life, so I was very pleased when my Acer came from Amazon yesterday (April 9th) with the 5800mAh battery. I don’t know about speed with the standard 1GB memory because I replaced mine with 2GB (so easy a caveman can do it) before I ever turned it on. But it boots up fast and is surprisingly quick. I love the size. It fits perfectly in my leather notebook. I touch type and while the keyboard is a little small it is very easy to get used to. Like some have reported, the touchpad buttons are a little stiff but they have a positive feel to them. It’s a non-issue with me because I hate touchpads in general and use them only in a pinch. I found a nice little Logitech USB mouse for about $19 that’s even a perfectly matching cobalt blue. The first option you will need for most any of these netbooks is a good USB DVD burner to load your software and make backup emergency disks. I bought one just before I bought the netbook. The 10″ display is bright and extremely sharp. The setup was simple I was up and running on my wireless network in less than 5 minutes. Most of my time was spent removing bloatware and building emergency recovery disks. This is really a great little computer with a solid feel and very attractive to look at. At the price you cannot beat this little netbook.
