Memory Issues?

[MacroGuru]

I have been playing BBCF for a bit now, and I decided to run a career with Utah State University and I am in the year 2023 (I started at 2006), I have ran the career with 1.46, 1.47, and now 1.48.

One thing I have noticed over time is the game seems to use around 171,000K in the memory side. Slowing some things down, but eventually locking up sometimes on a save. Now I do tend to leave the game up on my desktop when I walk away and I am gone for most of the day.

But it will do the lock up generally when I try to save it. Everytime it does this, I check and the memory is up there, now I just running base without me doing anything after loading my league it is at 153,000K.

A new league is running at 138,000K....

My system specs -

Dell Latitude D810 Laptop
1 GB RAM
2.18 GHz Centrino M processor
128 MB ATI Mobility Graphics Card
Over 40 GB Free Space on the HD.

Now, I like to run my music, surf, and do other things while games are simming, so I don't know if it is a combo of everything bogging down my laptop, however, seeing the amount of memory being used by the game is a concern to me.
