newbie - RAM on Titan?

[admin22]

Hey, I've been encountering some issues with RAM on my Titan. it's probably some sort of misunderstanding on my part. Usually I have about 16MB free with nothing running. The Titan has 64MB RAM. When I look at processes, they should only be using about 11MB total. I don't understand what's going on here; where is this extra 36MB going? I'm using the No2Chem ROM.

Without getting into too much detail, there are other processes running as well that aren't listed in the Task Manager. Think of the basic task manager as the "Applications" tab on your normal Windows task manager; it shows programs that are running. While that may be empty - if you were to click on the "Processes" tab, you might find 30 different processes still running.

There ARE other memory manager apps you can find which will give you the detail on all the processes, just do a search for memory managers.

And - if it makes you feel any better, 16mb is about average as far as your memory goes. I have a few things running on mine, and get 8-10mb free - if I'm lucky...memory is the biggest drawback on this device, but not a total deal breaker for me. Its manageable.
