Re: [amibroker] computer Memory usage

hi,

one of my computers crashed and apparently the motherboard broke down. I have the motherboard replaced and I have 500 MB internal memory. When I do a backtest (on the complete NYSE or NASDAQ market -I use QP2-) it uses all the memory but when it is finished it still uses 448 MB memory, it does not free it. I noticed this is the same basicly on another computer (which has 256 + 128 MB memory). But this AMD Athlon is slowed down dramatically by the process, it basicly paralizes my computer. Only by exiting Amibroker I get this memory back. Never noticed this being this dramatic before (also because usually I do not do a backtest on a complete market). Is this a computer problem you think? Or do I need to change a setting in Windows?

regards, Ed
