Sorry, I meant to say 35,000K. I don't usually pay any atention to the label in my Task Manager, and was shortening the 35,000 to 35k. So in a way I was trying to say 35k(K). 8)

Regardless of the state of EQ2 (minimized, restored in windowed mode) the game seems to increase memory usage at a rate of about 2Mb every 5 seconds. After reaching around 150Mb, the memory usage increase slows down, and seemed to even out at about 200Mb.
.

I have had it many times "top out" around 25-30,000k. I am not sure what the conditions are that make it continue to increase.
The highest I have had it while minimized was around 78,000k while in SQ checking out a quest.
It has been 5 minutes since I took the screen shot posted here, and EQ2's usage is still only at 30,236K (and has been going up and down in small increments while typing this out). I have since moved into my room to start selling (the screen shot was taken while at the ank in Starcrest).

Regardless. I think that whatever it is doing it is great for online selling and being able to do other things.
