I have 8gb of ram in my machine, however, even when I game, I do not see the used memory go above 4.2gb and it never goes above 2gb for every day use. This got me to thinking.. Do I even need this extra ram, and now that I have it, is there a way to cause Windows to go ahead and use it? Is this even desire-able.. Your thoughts appreciated..
