Post subject:	processes at startup?
On your computer, how many processes are running when you first turn on your computer, without running anything else? For me, it's 42, and I have 512MB of RAM.

Win98, 48 meg; 13 exe's and 142 16-bit and 32-bit drivers (less whatever sysinfo may have loaded so I could check, but I excluded the msinfo32.exe from the count). Cheers

When I first turn it on? No idea. Right now (normal conditions)? 121, using 353MB of RAM

121! :O When I mean processes, I mean just open up taskmanager and look at the number beside processes.

he's using Arch (correct me if I'm wrong), not Windows. The values will be a little off

Post subject:	RE:processes at startup?
At startup, I've got 50 tasks taking up 150 MB of RAM. Maybe 10 of them are associated with my user, the rest obviously makeup the background system.
