Memory usage 10GB of 16 GB installed
Win 7 x64 bit O/S on SSD (no page file)
Core i7 Sandybridge
16 GB DDR3
With 16 GB ram installed after booting up I'm consuming about between 1.7 - 2.2 GB of ram (with the usual programs & services running in the background). After a few hours surfing and performing various tasks, my memory usage climbs to 10 GB and stays there. Initially I thought this may a virus but after a thorough scan there's no virus present. Because the memory rise is so consistent and always stops at around the 10 GB mark, I'm starting to think this must be Windows 7 allocating the memory. If I re-boot at 10 GB, memory usage returns to under 2 GB when I reach the desktop. Any advice appreciated.
