svchost.exe PID 1008 uses 130 Mb Ram

In task manager I see that SVCHOST.exe is using upwards of 100Mb of my RAM.

a. I am curious what specific processes/services this process (PID 1008) is
using and if I will be able to disable them.

b. Please tell me how to check what processes are running under a listing
in Task Manager.

c. Is my PID 1008 going to be the "same" process on everyone's computer, or
do computers each create unique PIDs for their processes

Thanks for responding!

SPEC:
OS: 64-bit ultimate
Board: Asus a8n32-sli dlx. nforce4 DOS Bios rev. 1303
RAM: 2 x 1024 DDR 500 RAM 1.6volt
CPU: AMD X2 4400+ (not OC'd)
GPU: 1 x 8800 GTX Driver 100.65 wqhl

grab a copy of process explorer from Microsoft at
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sys...sExplorer.mspx

This will allow you to see which sub-process of the service host is
consuming the resources.

Best of luck,
Joe
