i don't have this utility installed. I have been told that it is quite normal for the the system to reserve half the RAM in cache for hardrive speed. If you have a SSD installed this is not the case and reserved RAM amount will be reduced significantly.2 Having said this your system will still use the reserved RAM if needed, it is not unusable.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
