memory usage - cpu gadget

Using the CPU gadget since yesterday. Are these resource gadgets reliable?
Yesterday my memory usage at idle was 42%, today it is 58% - thats quite
alot of difference.

If you open Task Manager and compare, you will see that the Sidebar gadget
is spot on

Hi Jane, thanks for the reply. It seems to have settled down to around 42%
and that is with Windows Mail and IE7 running. It appears it takes a long
time (30mins +) to settle down from booting.

Indexing is one of the new features of Vista that speeds up the search
features. Give it a while and it will calm down.

You don't mention the amount of RAM in this system, so posting the
percentage is not that informative. I haven't gotten around to installing
RC1, yet, but in Beta 2 I was seeing around 600-650MB of RAM in use at idle
with nothing of consequence running, but in my system that's around 40%.
Scalability and all. Keep in mind that Vista Ultimate needs a minimum of
1GB of RAM and if you have less, you will see an increase in disk activity
and also RAM usage since your pagefile will be accessed more often.
