[QUOTE="Dysfunction, post: 1363697, member: 51052"] The system will simply use as much ram as it has available. So the fact that it's used 5.45 GB of ram isn't surprising. That said, most of it is in 'inactive', so this is ram that was previously allocated, but is not currently in active use (it's sitting waiting for those apps to reopen, it'll clear on it's own eventually). Now, if your system is revving up fans etc, randomly, without any real CPU usage.. I'd contact Apple. This is a NEW iMac, correct? [/QUOTE]
