I'm normally running around a gig usage at idle. I install 4 more gigs today for a total of 8gb and now I am using around 1.30 gigs at idle. Is it using more because I have more to offer?

Reminds me of my wife and kids...
 :-D

My junk:

Vista Ultimate 64
2.4 C2Q6600
8 gigs of OCZ 800Mhz ddr2 Nvidia Sli memory
EVGA 680i mobo
2x EVGA 8800GT 512 Sli
650watt psu (main)
       +
450watt psu (dedicated for gpu)

That's windows for ya. Vista is even worse memory hog then XP, if you're running it.

Yea, which of the vista "features" do you have running? Try turning of aero, sidebar, other wastes of memory that just make Vista look nice.

You have 8 Gigs of Ram and you are complaining about using 1.5 Gigs of it?

No big deal as you have plenty of Ram.

Well,

I using 1,410MB at idle. I have a network monitor running and slide bar with some other bells and whistle's

CD e6320
8 gig  2GB PC2-6400 DDR2
evga 570 sli split-a
currently 2 9600gt
some generic big fan powersupply that sli rated 650watt

I going to be making a MB upgrade and processor soon..

I found that some of the *32  processes grow in size  accourding to memory pool and the damn slide bar can be a hog depending on how many Gadgets (useless crap that i seem to like) you use.

you went up in usage due to having to manage that much more actually.  since you're spreading the data across more space, you need to manage all that space.
