Sorry for this post
I was supposed to be sending this content to a friend who does not have
enough ram in his laptop for recent Lightroom updates
I didn't notice that I hadn't left this newsgroup

Built-in memory: 16326.8 MB
Real memory available to Lightroom: 16326.8 MB
Real memory used by Lightroom: 897.6 MB (5.4%) -- 5.4%, not 50%
Virtual memory used by Lightroom: 966.4 MB


How is 897.6 *MB* considered half of 16 *GB* of system RAM? Lightroom
is using under 1 GB from 16 GB available. That's under 1/16, or 6.25%,
not 50% (half).

From the above Help information:

897.6 MB / 16,326.8 MB = 0.0549, or 5.49%. That's one-ninth of your
claim of 50% memory usage. They even tell you in the Help info that
Lightroom is using 5.4% of your system RAM. Just how did YOU compute a
50% memory footprint?

For Lightroom at 897.6 MB to be using half of your system RAM means you
would only have 1.785.2 MB (or ~1.8GB) of system RAM but the Help info
clearly shows you have 16 *GB* of system RAM.

Well I just glanced and saw the 897 and jumped to the thought 'Goodness
that is almost half of 16326 and the software is just sitting' So I
didn't 'think' it through plus sending the mail to the wrong address
made a complete 'bloop!'

Adobe just did an update and their words included that the improvements
would be seen or require a machine with minimum 12 Ram. My friend has 8
so he was wondering if his laptop would continue to handle the Lightroom
software.
I use a desktop but I do have a laptop and the current Adobe Lightroom
does not run well on it so it is not installed there. Its a 6Gb ram and
slow HDD. I have been considering an SSD into this laptop but its not
high on the list of things to do.

I use LR on an 8GB machine and it runs fine. I would encourage you to
upgrade to SSD to use for paging and LR's temp files.
