Default Too Many handles in Vista
Hi its been awhile since i have check is it normal for vista to cache over 2gbs of memory ? it leaves 0 free and i have had 1-2 second lag issues. And second my handles have been going out of control as well it was at 700000 the other day. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Im using Windows Vista.

Switch to Windows 7 friend. It has much better memory usage.

Vista (and Windows 7) have a feature called Superfetch which caches various commonly-used programs and items in memory automatically so that next time you use them, it will take longer for them to load. It's a way of taking better advantage of your remaining memory to improve performance when it isn't required by other programs. What you're seeing is perfectly normal (and it wouldn't be any different in Windows 7, either).

The number of handles does look high, but everything else is fine. I'm not sure what that means.
