Question Eating too much RAM?
Im a bit worried that im using excess memory. Can someone please tell me if these figures in the task manager are ok? I mean physical memory, cached and free, its sometimes saying ive only got 2 or 3 free! (see my enclosed image, system spec below) all i had running when image was taken was Azureus bit client.

Its just Vista using your RAM as a cache to speed things up.

Nothing to worry about
