What is this? Looks to be eating up a lot of your RAM

 

[factorialandha]

windows preallocates a good chunk of memory generally below is mine for example, 

 

Installed Physical Memory (RAM)    16.0 GB
Total Physical Memory    15.6 GB
Available Physical Memory    6.69 GB
Total Virtual Memory    22.1 GB
Available Virtual Memory    7.96 GB

 

Virtual memory is generally the page file on the disk. 

 

Your best option is to check in task manager what is using up memory, and aslong as nothing is specific eating memory, you might find that its just preallocated to improve performance, Windows caches some items in memory to speed up items, this memory isnt available but will be freed up if required. 

 

Aslong as your computer isnt running extremely slow and there isnt processes listed in task manager using up a lot of memory, then its just the operating system caching and allocating memory to background processes, which is normal in my opinion, people always look at these figures and think theres a problem when a lot of the time, there isnt.

I do not know, one reason i was asking others.

but why would the hardware reserve 8.5gbs of Ram that is a lot of ram, I turned off integrated graphics for my cpu I do not know what else would take it.
