Default SC2 RAM usage
Lately I've been noticing SC2 is taking a lot more RAM that it is suppose to. It would normally be around 500MB - 1GB. Now when i play it slowly rises until all my RAM is gone and i get that annoying message that says windows 7 recommends me to close SC2. Sometimes my computer would even freeze up and will not respond to anything but a force restarted. Anyone else have this problem or hopefully a solution?

It is supposed to take about 1.4-1.6GB with everything on ultra/high. I increased my virtual memory by a bit, i hope it helps.

Great, it seems like only a few are plagued with this problem (googled it).
