You don't want to be using all of the memory... Programs need unused memory to process well...

If it was at 100 %, you'd see a lot of slowness...

You could "solve" this issue by: opening 2 dozen tabs in Firefox, making a video conference call in Skype, editing a large document with graphics etc. in Word and running a batch render in Premiere Pro :D but Elan is right ;)

I don't think you have a problem. Here is my current Resource Monitor picture and I consider that as completely normal.
