Hey, whenever i start up my computer, i check the memory usage and it is instantly at 2.40 GB (There is 8 total) at idle... Is this very high or is it relatively normal? There aren't many things open in the task manager but any suggestions would be great, thanks.

What results do you get in Task Manager?

That is probably a little bit high for win 7 but nothing too alarming, it is probably that you have a few programs running at start up that you don't have to have running til you need them

I Ticked "show processes from all users" and there are 72 processes. I don't know if all of them are needed or what :/

Not processes. Performance.

That's about 30% of your RAM.
This is normal, really, for Windows 7.
