Default Low system free RAM

I have 8gb ram installed. On a fresh startup, I know Windows isn't using 2gb of RAM and I have a dedicated GPU with 3gb VRAM so I know that's not taking up any system RAM. I feel like this number should be closer to 8,000, or atleast in the 7000's



Guys please share this screenshot on your setups

That's probably pretty close, how many processes are running in Windows? Check Task Manager.

If you are using Windows 7 or 8, 2GB's of RAM is in use almost at idle. You need to stop thinking in "XP days" type of thinking. "Saving resources" and "lean and mean" are not necessary in the modern computers of powerful CPU's and lots of RAM.
