Hey guys,

I have 4gb ram but system info says only 3.88gb is usable.

I was told that maybe my "APU" was enabled. I was trying to understand this but maybe the guy from the forum I asked from earlier thinks that I'm using a laptop.

Here's my specs:
-i3 G3258
-GA H81M DS2 rev. 2.0
-Radeon R7 250
-4gb Ram

Also, I've noticed upon checking task manager, that win 8.1 consumes 1gb of my ram right after start up. I can see so many services running.
Is this normal?

Kinda worried.. don't wanna lag while I'm gaming.

Windows takes up a small part of your ram. Services take up more eg anti virus, printer software, afterburner, uefi etc etc. These days you should have 8gb ram.
