Okay, so it has been open for a week or two but come on. You really need 44MB of RAM to display a single tab that has only ever displayed a single webpage?
Not that it really matters since my desktop has 16 gigabytes of RAM (10.5 of which is in use), but still…
I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone that Chrome used less memory than Firefox, but I routinely mention that Chrome is much faster than Firefox…
16 GB for Photoshop?
Nah, mostly gaming, etc.
4GB isn’t enough — some games easily use 1.5-2GB.
8GB was good but leaving Firefox or Chrome open for long periods would suck up 1-2GB of RAM each, plus with uTorrent using another GB (for caching), games using another 2GB, etc. I could easily get up towards my max.
RAM is cheap. It only cost me about $100 for my 16GB of RAM and most of the time I’m only using about 50% of it.
WTH you were doing with opening so many windows? everything depends on your hardware & way you use it. crome is faster den firefox & to a extend uses lesser memory coz its not intrigated with unnecessary addons & its by google the search engine gaints
Chrome spawns a process for each tab you have open, so I had lots of tabs open not lots of windows. Like most people I know, I usually leave my browser open for days (or weeks) on end with dozens of tabs open.
Um, lol. Okay.
