Hi There, I'm new to the forums, so I'm not sure if this post will get read or something due to the level or ranking I'm in or w/e.
Anywho, I have had several Virtual Machines before on VMWare, and then after my 3rd drive got all corrupt and jacked, I told myself I was sick of it, and move onto bootcamp. Now, after bootcamp, I was a bit sick of having to reboot everytime and decided to move back to the VMs.
I came back and made another Virtual Machine... To notice, that it was exttreeemmellly slow. I switched to the Mac, and opened the "Activity Monitor" to see at the "System Memory" tab that I had 12 MB of RAM free.
Outrageous.
My Wired RAM is somehow 1.93, Active is 1.06, and Inavtive is 1.09, when I only have my VMWare and Chrome open!
I deposited 1 GB of RAM to the Virtual Machine, so I'm guessing that the wired RAM is from the previous Virtual Machines. I deleted those virtual machines though from the VMWare Library!
I also noticed that quitting all the VMWare Proccesses, still leave me with the same amount of RAM. This has been extremely bothering me. In the process list, it shows that VMWare is only taking 43.1 MB of RAM.
Does anyone have a solution to free up some RAM, or like really delete the previous machines? Because it seems like I deleted the previous machines, but the settings and stuff are still wired into my RAM.
Thx.
