Physical Memory Usage
Hi, I just want to confirm if my PC is performing alright. I have recently started task manager and noticed that my physical memory usage is around 50%, I have hardly any applications open. Is this normal? If not how do I resolve such a problem?
EDIT: I have 4 GB of RAM running Windows 7 and as I said the only applications other than the ones running at start-up that I have open are sticky notes and IE

Hello Woppy,
You can open Resource Monitor and click on the Memory tab to see what all is using your memory. I have 12GB of RAM and currently sitting at 21% being used without much open, so it doesn't sound like your's may be completely unreasonable. You might have something running in the background that is using up memory.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
