How many processes are running on your Windows Vista machine?

Hi,

This is comparable to what I have.

What make and model of computer do you have? (ie: Dell, XPS 420)

What antivirus/antispyware do you normally have running?

What kind of software is equipped with your PC? (ie: Intel Viiv, Roxio etc)

Merry Christmas!

 

42, doing a lot at the moment could be like 30-40 if I wanted but voted 40-50.

 

Hi,

How did you get yours to 40? I'm running in the 65-75 range.

Regards,

Mark.

 

Currently 64...never something I worry about..rig is stuffed with RAM and processor power..it's there to be used.

 

Eleventy billion.

 

65-75 usually.

I can care less really about the no. of processes.

 

I tend to stay in the 34-38 range.

 

On Vista?

How can you have less than 40 processes on Vista?

 

Vista nothing, I run XP my friend And now, after a little trip to BlackViper and finishing up my P2P downloads, I'm at *drumroll*.....26 processes.

Edit: Lol, my dumb butt never even looked at the whole title thread...oh well, I'm still proud of my 26 processes even if it is the wrong OS

 

Most of the time 75 on Vista Ultimate. I have tried to cut the number of processes in the past and brought it down to 64-65. It didn't affect the computer at all in terms of speed. On the other hand there are situations whereby disabling processes might stop something inadvertently, leaving you guessing what caused it.

Nowadays I leave them all running set by default. Vista is not XP, it is designed to run a lot of processes.

 

May I ask you what is it exactly that makes you proud of having 26 processes running instead of 40? I'm asking you, don't take it personally, I have noticed that many members are very happy with less processes, and I was wondering why people wouldn't be happy having a computer with more processes (read more sophisticated) than less (read more spartan).

 

More doesn't equal sophisticated The reason is, the more processes that are running, the more taxing it is on a system (unless you're one of those 4-8Gb RAM people with a duo/quad core processor). I'm a gamer too, so I want as much resources available as possible. I recently switched from Avast antivirus over to NIS 2009, and now I have even less than before, 23 processes when not browsing or running another program.

 

The poll was supposed to be exclusively for Windows Vista.

 

ROFLMAO

 

At least be thankfull you dont have Eleventy Billion as JimIT does.Post 30

 

Gee, ya think? Read my edit, lol....and now I'm down to 24, so there!

 

66 at the moment, on a Dell Inspiron with Vista Home Premium.

 

38 running on a Sony vaio laptop

 

What program is that you are using to show processes and processes information?

 

process explorer

 

38 on my Vista Home Premium, but i only have Auslogics Defrag, CCleaner, Adobe Reader, Java and my signature below installed.

 

Do all those programs have start-up processes?

 

45 processes (including firefox) on Vista Home premium. I can lower number of processes to 40 if I disable acer empowering services

 

I have 40

 

I have 21....
Vista Premium.
