I have 4GB ram, and idling with few programs open [A few chrome tabs - Including runescape, a java based game that uses 70-120mb per instance only, skype and windows messenger] i'm using 2.7GB.
Is this right?
Picture below:
Yes it is right but only 3327MB(3.24GB) of your RAM is usable since you are using a 32-bit version of Windows 7
Use the 64-bit version to use all your 4GB
Nope, the editions of Windows don't make any difference in memory usage
Post a screenshot of your processes tab. 82 processes is too much
RAM usage depends on the applications you use
I'm now running 2 of the java game in chrome in high detail, so that's why the RAM usage for Java is high atm :%.
Posted the bigger image with processes - I'm an idiot
Yeah, I was just wondering. It seems kinda' bad..
If it idles at say 1.9gb RAM, how do computers with 2GB of ram even run?
And this is on the lowest graphics settings possible [Windows classic, no effects etc]

Go to msconfig (Windows Key+R>msconfig>Startup) and disable any useless programs
Windows tries to use as much ram as it can so that the machine will run better, pre caching apps and files that are used often.
Unused ram is wasted ram, imo.
I don't have much running at the moment, Firefox with 14 tabs, Media player playing a song, Zoom player with a movie loaded, some running apps in the tasktray, like outlook, setpoint, amazon downloader, powerchute, ultramon, and a few other and I am using 4.4GB out of 16GB.
I have 99 processes running using 27% of physical ram.
