Hey guys, I just wanted to ask a quick question. When I'm not gaming, my Physical Memory Usage is about 14%, is this normal? I usually have a couple of applications open though, such as Razer Synapse, and Teamspeak 3. Just wanted to check in with you guys.

Windows Vista/7/8 precahe and predicts which applications you will run next and preloads all of the necessary data into memory. It also does that with boot files. This helps prevent accessing the slower hard disk too often. The result? Programs launch much quicker, and Windows boots faster. Im sitting at 21% right now.

14% is hugely low.

When I boot I'm at about 30% ~1.8GB
