ITT Open as much shit as you possibly can

FluxCapacitorClock · June 07, 2008, 12:29:42 AM

I decided to do this just for shits and giggles. I wanted to see how many programs I could get running and still have my computer function. It was a fun way to kill 15 minutes.

Here's my task manager after my computer refused to open any more. Windows Movie Maker was the last thing I tried to open, and my computer refused to do it. I had 5 tabs open in firefox, and a movie playing in VLC as well.

It's funny that I could still take a screenshot, open paint, paste it, save it and upload it with all this open. I was actually pretty surprised.

What stopped you from opening more? RAM, CPU, OS limitation?

If I had to take a guess I would say it was probably RAM, I only have slightly over a gig. I should've taken a screenshot of the performance window in task manager, shit. I'll recreate this tomorrow and do that.

I could probably open every program on my computer without running out of RAM since I have 4gigs.

But I noticed none of those programs are actual games, those hardly take any RAM at all...

Right, just a ton of programs. Maybe it was the CPU or an OS limitation. I'll find out tommorrow. I'm going to be home alone all day and won't have anything better to do. Maybe I'll try opening all games tommorrow as well, that would be interesting. I've never tried to open more than one of them at a time.

Probably could of opened up more but I got bored
It did get pretty laggy though and I was afraid I'd loose the screenshot

You guys are taking pics of the wrong screen. You should be taking pics of the processes tab, so we can see RAM and CPU usage of each program.

Sorry, but I have a heart.

I feel bad just having my computer be on on a day this hot.

Wow.. someone call the computer police.. :-( I can just open up AoC and WoW and EQ2 then I will be at 98.7%

I've got this thing called a swap file. It keeps my computer from burying itself.

TequilaClock · June 12, 2008, 05:07:16 PM

I can only estimate 15.

EnvelopeClock · June 12, 2008, 05:14:13 PM

i can open up four programs, maybe five on a good day, and it'll start to lag. But if one of those is flash, then I can maybe have two open.
