So I bought 16GB of RAM (2x8GB DDR4) and installed it, I recently noticed I was running out of memory using adobe applications when I shouldn't be. So I opened task manager and checked the memory option

15.1GB committed? I'm not getting a full 16GB? Also says I 5.6GB in use and only 8.2GB available.. why am I not getting the full 16?
 
Solution
8.2 of 15.1 is committed you have 5.9 in use with apps, programs, etc, 1.1 is holding cached data, guessing about .9 is being shared with hardware (prob the GPU) and you have 8.2 available
