the quote he had already answered the questions he posted.
he asked what did you do to reach that much ram usage = quote says : "i could only pop 6apps of mine and it'll hover 65-75% ram usage with that, at best i could pop 8apps in total without freezing my system and it'll top at around 90%." plus screeny tells which apps i had up.
and the rest are identical to that question, saying "i have these and that and it still cant reach that much ram usage, how the heck are you doing it?" and such.

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

I do not know what program you are running from seeing it's icon, so you did not answer my question on how you did that.

Not quite. That's like saying a farmer and a cabbage are the same thing. A processor is what performs the work, and a process is the work. While any old computer could handle 103 processes, a computer with 103 processors would cost several thousand dollars to build.
v As long as we're straight on that, no problem.

Well, it was actually a typo from my side. Can we cast that aside and stop this nitpicking?
This was also meant, more or less, as a minor joke, I guess it is hard to get such thing out on the internet using a forum.

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. >.>

Yeah it's caching. Unused RAM = wasted RAM. Ofcourse it's better to always be at 75% or 50% usage than at 10%. :) *nix OSes worked that way for ages.
Personally, anything over 8 gB is an overkill if you do not render a lot or compile a lot (and by compiling I mean compiling clean project, who does that?! you edit one thing, recompile, add one thing, recomplie) or use a lot of virtual machines.
Ofcourse, if you have hundreds of applications and you open at the same time because you never know when you'll need one and hate to wait for them to load... Well, get an SSD.
