Incorrect ram usage measurement?

So when I open task manager while idling and see the overall ram usage, it says 1,5GB which is fine. But above that, it says 42% of the ram is being used. Now I don't need crazy math skills to understand that 42% of 8000MB is NOT 1500MB. It is however 42% of 4000MB. So I went to see if one ram stick is broken but before that I checked my system info and it displayed my 8GB in all its glory, so it can't possibly be broken. Is this just a wrong measurement by task manager?
