Sooo, I just did a clean install on my new system with 16GB RAM.
And my RAM usage is almost 2GB.
I've only just installed the most basic of programs and yet it's almost double what it was on my previous W7 install. (the exact same OS and version)
I find that a little weird, which is why I'm curious about what is normal.

Sittin' on chimneys, putting fire up my ***.

The more ram you have installed the more ram windows will use by default by the system.
Yeah, I figured that was probably the reason.

Installed: 16GB
Hardware reserved: 62MB
In use: 2,3GB (with FF which is using 502MB)
Modified: 216MB
Standby: 1,1GB
Free: 12,5GB
Could drop it to below 1,5GB if I really wanted to.
Have 79 processes running, of which only 62 are really needed. (I checked :D )
But seeing as I has 16GB, who cares?
