I currently have 8gb ddr3 1600mhz cl9 ram installed in my computer. This would seem enough for most games etc. However for some reason when i load up a game, battlefield 4 in this case, it tells me all my ram is being used up, even though it's only using 500MB of it. Have i done something wrong? or is this a litch i should ignore? I'm not sure

Show your system properties, see if its detecting all 8gb.

I have only 7.89gb available as I had to install it in another slot as I have a large heatsink

Download and install Rammap, load it up, give it a couple of minutes to load then go to processes and see what it is that is using all your ram.
