How many running processes on your machine?

[Peter2150]

Okay so now I have a question. Looking at my machine right now and comparing with The Seeker, I have 66 processes to his 25, but my commit Charge is running at 21.38%. Does the 66 process really matter that much, if the commit charge is that low?

20 at startup, but ussually about 21-30 processes (Azureus, IE, Miranda, POP Peeper, WMP).

24 processes running here.
LOL @ firefox using 113mb of ram and i only have 1 tab open at this website.

23 Processes without IE running, of course i normally have anywhere from 6- 10 IE windows open when online so that would increase the processes respectively.

[I must be saved]

I have about anywhere between 37 and 44 usually. I run a few things like spyware blaster and windows defender, so they account for a few processes. What's the most that someone's ever had? Would a really large no. eg. 50 + suggest an infection of something if most programs like anti-spyware etc were disabled? Thanks

I check this regularly, and "normally" I have 28 running. Today I'm high @ 50.

Whew!

26 at the moment, 24 minus FF at a whopping 75m and task manager. At least 3 of those I could do w/out at boot, but my boot time from button-press to read-to-run-an-app is just under 50 seconds, so I'm happy. Boot-time might drop if I uninstalled the Vista Transformation Pack, but it looks so nice I just can't bear to do it. Going back to plain ol' XP at this point would feel like trading in a Caddy for a Gremlin. (Never mind that either way it's still an Escort engine under the hood! )

Currently 18, because of Firefox. Default is 17.

30-32

[CReal]

26 without counting Firefox.
