I'm playing an online flashplayer game and using taskmanager I can see my ram usage creeping up over time, eventually it reaches nearly max capacity and the game starts to mis-display, lag and generally grind to a halt.
If I restart my browser my ram usage goes back to usual and the usage creep begins again.
I'm not sure if it's a quirk of the game or a shortcoming with my system.
I'm running windows xp 32 bit with explorer 8 on a biostar G31-M7-TE motherboard, with an intel Q8200 quad processor and 2Gb of ram, (another 2Gb is in the post to take it to max 4Gb)
I've also fitted a evga nvidia GTX660 pci-express GPU which has 2Gb of dedicated graphics ram.
my system at idle is using 400mb of ram, logged into the game 900mb of ram, at the point of requiring a restart it's reached 1.8Gb... :O
any boffins out there want to humiliate me with their superior geekery are welcome to respond
