I've got 16 gigs on my desktop, and when I shut down MS (after a few days running) I've seen it clear 13+GB of memory at times. Luckily Win 7 seems pretty good about actually retrieving the leaked memory, so I don't need to reboot.

Does it only not free on 7? I haven't noticed it doing that on XP at all...I only have 2GB of memory so I can't let it get too high. Though it crashes while using less memory than my Terraria server, go pineappleing figure...
I can get it to free some of the stuff it's taking up by constant graphics switching, it stops working when the game doesn't lag on switches but it does some decent damage control. Doesn't really help at bosses too well cause I seem to always be switching too late before the windows, HP bar/body and chat start bugging out on me. Or in PvP's case, the characters disappear.
