    Physical Memory limited to 50% (2.0 GB)


    I just checked the performance monitor which running Premire Pro, Skype, Firefox and Word together. The CPU Usage went up to 100% but the Physical Memory was stuck at 50-52%. I dont want half my memory to go waste

    How can i solve this issue?

    Please help

    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 but Elan is right

    Open Resource Monitor > Start type "resource monitor" > go to the Memory tab > Physical Memory. If the dark blue bar is almost near the end, your computer is using your RAM to its fullest. Standby is cached RAM.

    Alright


    Elan & Corazon: Thx for sharing your knowledge with me!
    logicearth: the dark blue bar occupies more than half of the whole!

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