    Hey i have 4gb of ram and around 80% is being used all the time . The problem is when i look at the prosseces in TM it only add's up to around 1gb (resource manager tell's me the same ) . Has anyone ever encountered this problem before ?

    Windows 7 (and Vista) precaches programs into RAM so they load faster. Unless your machine is running slowly, I wouldn't worry.

    How do you know 80% of the 4GB is being used if Resource Manager and Task Manager are telling you its less?

    Are you "Showing processes from all users" in task manager?

    If you go to the Process's tab under Task Manager and sort the list by clicking on the "Memory" tab at the top, it should sort the process's from most to least memory usage. Whats taking up the most ram?
    Is the issue prevalent in safe mode also? Just to rule out whether its a problem with Windows 7 or a third party application thats hogging the extra memory.
