I bought a new iMac (Apple - iMac - Compare the 21.5- and 27-inch iMac.) (the first one).
I also bought another 8GB of memory. The performance is dramatically better but still as you can see from Activity Monitor some programs just swallow too much memory (Skype, Chrome).
I run in Parallels Desktop 7 Windows 7. I gave to it 3GB of memory and 2 CPU cores.
Is it normal that from 12GB I only have 50 - 150MB free?
EDIT: I have OS X Lion on it.
