The memory windows uses

[pinki104]

Hey people i have a question,
i didnt notice this before but windows takes 30% of your ram no matter how much u have, e.g. when i had 8gb it was taking 2.4g (30%) and when i upgrades to 16gb it was still taking 4.8gb (30%) is there anyway to lower this ?

oh and this is using windows 7, havent tested with anything else

so the 30% its using at the start it isnt actually using ? because each of my java apps uses about 15% ram and when i run the first one it will jump to 45% ram instead of using some of the 30% already being taken and then when it gets to like 95% ram my comp just lags instead of letting me use that extra 4.8gb
