Why is chrome at 13 processes?

Chrome is super compartmentalized, which means each internal process is it's own. It sandboxes it for security basically.

 

Basically, this means flash gets a process, each extension gets a process, there's the main process, and AFAIK (but not sure) each webpage gets a process as well.

 

EDIT: Use Shift+Esc to get to the builtin task manager.

I only have 2 tabs open with Chrome but it's using 1.5 GB and has 13 processes running. 

Does each ad blocker count as an instance in chrome?

Just now, Technicolors said:

how many extensions you're running?

5 or 6 I think. I didn't install the last two though.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.
