I tend to agree that it is not a Windows problem. Windows XP is actually pretty good with memory management, a huge improvement on previous versions. If there were some inherent fault in Windows memory management it would have shown itself a long time ago.
Having said that, free RAM is not a good indicator of how well memory is being managed. Windows will use all the memory it can get it hands on which is good thing as unused memory is wasted. It will free up allocated but currently unused memory as and when required,
If the application requires 500 Mbs Windows will make 500 Mbs available by either freeing up allocated memory or swapping stuff out to virtual memory.
How do you have virtual memory configured? It should be configured to allow Windows to manage it. Setting values yourself can cause untold problems unless you are very familiar with Windows memory management and the applications you are using. Make sure there is enough space on the drive where the swap file is stored. There should be at least 3 Gbs with 1.5 Gbs of RAM.

Hi Ace,

“i just disconcted it from my motherboard socket with my heatsink and processor attached”
Are you saying you left the CPU & heatsink in place & simply removed the fan to clean the blades? Or that you ripped the CPU/heatsink combo out of the socket without separating them? Generally, the CPU cannot be removed from the socket without 1st removing the heatsink because the heatsink blocks access to the CPU locking lever. Just in case you ever attempt this again, what you should have done was run the computer for a while to heat up the CPU & soften the thermal material bewteen the CPU & heatsink. Then immediately shutdown the system, unplug the power cord, & unlatch the heatsink. Usually a slight twisting motion is all it will take to break it free from the CPU. Once the heatsink is off, you have access to the CPU locking lever.
So if you did rip them out as a unit, how were you able to get the CPU reinstalled in the socket again without access to the locking lever?
