My Computer uses too much RAM

[Jan Ace]

I'm running 32bit Win 7 and has 2Gb RAM Installed.

I'm only running firefox that is only using 200,000k memory

I already scanned my computer using ESET Anti Virus and also updated my windows update

You really need to double up on your ram and get rid of UN-necessary start up items. Msconfig can used for that and is safest.

So without firefox you are using 1.3 GB ram on windows 7, that is not really a shocker.

Clear out any unnecessary startup programs: you can type msconfig in start menu search but the better thing to do is download ccleaner.
Then clean out your system junk files, scan registry, and under tools you can disable unneeded startup programs there (anything related to antivirus is needed and anything for touchpad, audio, and intel chipset should be left on as well).

My Visual Effects is already in best performance, I'll buy another 2GB RAM. Is my RAM Usage really normal?
