[QUOTE="robduckyworth, post: 1193074, member: 184879"] what state is the ram? go into AM, and take a look at the pie chart under system memory. if the majority of it is inactive, this is normal and should not be worried about. the OS has simply reserved the memory for use later. if its active or wired however, these are being used currently and you will have to figure out what they are assigned to. also take alook at your Pageouts in particular: this is when the system runs out of memory and writes to hard drive. this will cause slow downs in performance.
