@alexpd7706 I'm sorry but this isn't a PC support forum. In fact you posted in the Tabs Feature Requests forum.

Do you have a feature request for Tabs in the Vivaldi browser?

Alexpd7706

yes i would like if the Vivaldi did better on battery life Vivaldi cuz with the (new) edge i get better battery life so better resource management. And I would like that would not take 200MB of my ram with 4 tabs open

Alexpd7706

so what i want is that cpu and ram cap you can get with opra gx i get good battery life out that to

Alexpd7706

now to be fair Vivaldi does not spike my cpu and does use less ram compared to (new) edge but still would like to see in task manager Vivaldi using 60 MB of ram

@alexpd7706 said in can vivaldi have some opra GX stuff:

you will see that 16.6 gigs of my ram are "hardware reserved" then you see commended ram 12.5 gig out of 13.4

Hardware reserved in this case most likely means "cannot be used by the system because it's incompatible" (like @Pathduck suggested, you probably have a 4 GB module and a 16 GB module, and those are not compatible).

"Committed" memory refers to two things: physical RAM and virtual RAM. When your computer has used all physical RAM (3.4 GB in your system), Windows will start to copy rarely used RAM over to the hard drive and store it in a so called Pagefile (this is "virtual RAM"). When the data in the Pagefile is needed again Windows will copy it back into RAM, while copying something else over to the Pagefile instead.

In your system the "Committed memory" is limited to 13.4 GB, which would be 3.4 GB physical RAM (confirmed by your screenshot from the system information) and a 10 GB pagefile. In your screenshot you are using 12.5 GB of this (3 GB in physical RAM and 9.5 in the Pagefile).

Since the Pagefile is on the hard drive it is much slower than the RAM, so applications whose memory is "swapped" to the Pagefile will be much slower to use.

I suggest that you:

Power off your laptop
Remove the 4 GB RAM module
Place the 16 GB module in the slot you just removed the other one from.
Start the laptop again.

Now you should have 16 GB of usable RAM and nothing (or very little) hardware reserved. You "committed" limit will probably increase to 26-32 GB.

Ah, that's unfortunate. It sucks when they do stuff like that

Regardless, it would be interesting to see CPU and RAM limiting options in Vivaldi like in Opera GX. Not sure I'd use it, but it'd be cool nonetheless.
