Even when running steam, vuze, all canon printer utilities, ASUS AI Suite, AMD OverDrive, Hamachi and extensive load on my FireFox browser I can't consume as much as you do, even if I run a game like Battlefield 3 I just can't get over the 4GB that I have :o
Honestly, it... can't... be... done :o :o
EDIT: It may have been caught in a bad moment. Usually it only takes up to 10% CPU usage, which it doesn't right there on the picture, maybe it was opening something new lol.
Here I am running A LOT of tabs, three games (all connected to servers and running, all with max settings etc.), while seeding, monitoring and even overclocking the system, I even have my coding program open, Foxit reader, viewing an anime in windows media player, Microsoft Word is open, CPU-z, Origin, Steam FTP Client, Canon MyPrinter utility and a whole lot of other stuff. You can see that I am totally running 103 processors, where windows only needs about 35 to run, the remaining processors is just programs and games.
And I STILL can't fill my 4GB, it still feels just as smooth as if there was nothing open, and I am even running on mechanical hard drives in RAID 0.
I'd say it is quite an achievement to fill over 8GB.
I have even tried with Blender too, it still won't fill those damn RAM.

Windows 7 has a weird kind of optimization feature where the more RAM you have, the more RAM it uses. I've never really understood it. But, if you had as much as 32GB, it would probably use the same percentage of RAM as it does now.
What's with the 103 processors? A glitch?
I like how 90% of the space in your post asks a question that went completely ignored. >.>

haha, yea i do think its win7's fault, but then again firefox with over 40tabs doesnt use over 300mb of ram so i can say the app im using really does hog a lot of ram.
he meant task being processed.
two of his lines were completely repetitive.

irrelevant
plus none of his apps was really ram intensive, try opening an image over 8K resolution.
(click to show/hide)note, upscaled picture to 18k, using 3GB of ram.
firefox with 42tabs, using 290MB of ram.

I have seen that a few times. It seems quite weird.

I had 103 processors running, so that is no glitch.

Could you share such picture, or do you know somewhere where I can download one, then I will open it, see what happens. Opening it together with 3 games should then eat it all right?
I have disabled page file, and I have 1.5GB left of space on my hard drive, so it should not be able to store stuff there. Wonder what happens.

You had 103 processes running. Not 103 processors. Unless of course, they sent you a supercomputer to review alongside the bulldozer.

Don't worry, it's nothing new. It's often hard to get a straight answer out of him because he likes to talk about things that have no relation at all to what he is being asked. You'll get used to it. =P

That definitely sounds more accurate. Besides, 103 is a very strange number for processor count.
