Operating System Not Using All Of RAM
So, I have been recording game-play, using FRAPS... Which creates incredibly massive files (Over 80GB for about an hour). This is because it doesn't encode or compress it.
I am now putting it through Windows Movie Maker (a quick and easy way) to compress it. A 5 Gig file went to less than 250 Megs.
My question here is while I was making sure it was using all of the CPU (not sure how to correctly say that, is it a verb or a noun? :O) space. While I was doing this I saw that the Physically Memory was at 50% and the sum of the processes didn't come close to 8 Gigs. Wow. I forgot to check the process from all users. Disregarding that and going on with my current theory; Is it possible that my computer is not fully using the 8 Gigs of RAM I have? (Yes, 64-Bit Windows.) Also, my fan has not worked since I can remember. I have re-installed Windows quite a few times (on the same computer so I hope that's still legal. :O) and the network drivers don't even appear on the search for drivers. I am wondering if my fan driver isn't there and hence why my computer is so slow sometimes.
