Hello all. I've noticed something partially odd with my RAM. When I start up the computer and after I let it "settle down", it sits at about 1.2-1.4GB "used ram." When I put the computer to sleep - and then wake it up sometime later, there's only 0.8GB "used."
When the computer is doing a virus scan (AVG) - it'll go all the way up to 2.4GB used, but when I'm done, it will just sit at 1.9GB. I checked the task manager - and I don't really see anything fishy...at least to my untrained eye.
BUT, when I make the computer go to sleep...and re-awake it, there it is again...0.8GB.
My question is why - and then followed by how can I make it so that during idle or after startup (without sleeping)... there's <1GB "used?"
Thanks.
Oh, by the way, the computer is running 4GB of RAM.
