Ya if your facing no problems, then don't worry about it. Mind also reaches at 43% (not so far from 50) when in Idle.
The larger the memory, the more windows tends to utilize it. (There's a limit though). | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HCL

It's been beaten to death online by now, but that's Windows 7 doing it's job. I've seen it written many other times, but the general consensus is....if you don't want your memory used, remoed it from your computer and put it on your desk. Windows 7 isn't XP, so it shouldn't be treated like XP. You paid for that memory, so if the computer is using it to run more efficiently....let it. | | My System Specs | | OS Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1

If you are interested to know what's running, open the Task Manager > Processes tab. Then click on "show processes of all users" button (on the bottom) and click on the Memory button to show you the main users on top.
But I vote with the others, nothing to worry about. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP, Dell, Gateway, Toshiba - 4 laptops and 2 desktops

My 4GB of RAM is generally used up to within 50-75MB of the 4092MB. Shows me I should get some more but also that Windows 7 64bit is pretty good at managing things on it's own. Maybe the Intel SSD helps a bit too. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom Build
