Maybe I'm being stupid, but I'm not sure Windows is using all of my RAM. In dxdiag, speccy, and everywhere else I've checked, Windows sees me having a single stick of 8 gigs of RAM, but in task manager the information is contradictory.
When I was running Fallout 4, it was stuttering, and I checked, and task manager claimed to be using about 90% of my ram, but all together there was only about 3.5 gigs in use in the processes tab. After closing Fallout and looking around I saw that in my performance tab it's holding extremely steady at 5.1 gigs of memory use, despite the fact that I'm only running chrome, skype, and steam. Now that I'm running only that, the processes tab says it is using about 61%, despite only having about 700 mb usage apparent.
I'm using Windows 10, 64 bit, and this is a relatively new computer that I built from scratch. Am I being stupid, or is it actually weird that my system is using 5.1 gigs of ram when I'm doing barely anything?
