Hi,

I've got 4x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC6400 4-4-4-12 and am using Vista 64bit.

Now and then I get the feeling I get a performance drop in games and it's not because of the gfx card.
I did look into the task manager and I noticed that my amount of 'Free' Physical Memory (MB) is around 0, specially when playing WoW or any other game. There is a lot of cached memory and I am wondering, am I at a point that I need to get 6GB or 8GB ram or is this normal? It uses a lot from the page file as well...

I am not totally sure what cached memory does, is it memory that is in use or?
 
Ok, ye I can't find peak under Task Manager though, I think they removed it in Vista.. :S Ok then I'll just stay with 4GB, strange stuff maybe I need to reinstall my copy.
