in windows vista and 7 the more ram u have, the more it will allocate to the ram. it looks like u are using a lot of the ram, but windows is actually putting the more used programs into the ram for faster access. unlike XP which does not allocate your available memory to good use.

i have 8GB on my windows machine and starts up i'll use about 40%, but if i take out the ram, and down to 2GB, i'll still only use about 40% at start up
