Meh, it's not entirely unreasonable. My desktop tends to take up around 2.5-3GB of RAM with nothing open and I've also got 16GB in my system.

Thanks for the info

It's in between regular and abnormal (in my entirely incorrect opinion). For me my RAM usage varies from half a gig to 3GBs. Maybe some optimizing is necessary, but nothing bad.

System

  • CPU
    Intel i5-3470 / Core 2 Quad Q6600
  • Motherboard
    some piece of trash / other piece of garbage
  • RAM
    8 gigs of Ripjaws X DDR3-2666 / 7 GB of DDR2 stuff
  • GPU
    none. / XFX R9-280X
  • Case
    some Dell thing / another HP case
  • Storage
    500 gig Seagate Barracuda, 250 gig Kingston SSD / 120 gig PNY SSD, 1TB WD Blue, 1TB Samsung HDD (not plugged in)
  • PSU
    some chinese dumpster fire / 500W Silverstone
  • Cooling
    intelstock heatsink / Coolermaster thing thats worse than intelstock
  • Keyboard
    Asus Cerberus
  • Mouse
    Logitech G300s
  • Sound
    Creative Inspire T6300 5.1 Surround Speakers, Turtle Beach Earforce X12
  • Operating System
    Windows 10, wInDOwS 10
  • Laptop
    Surface Pro the Fourth

Amazing how a web browser can use an entire gigabyte of ram with two tabs open. What a time to be alive.
