I have a little App on my Macs called 'Memory Clean' that shows the current memory usage and at the moment I seem to be averaging about 2.5GB free despite having very few Apps open.

I've had a look in the Activity Monitor and that too says I only have about 2.5GB memory free for use. I've exported the list of applications in Activity Monitor into Excel and added them all up - the total usage of the list of Apps is equal to about 2.3GB.

So, with this in mind, considering Activity Monitor says I have used 5.5GB of my memory, where is the rest of it and what is it doing?!
