"First STOP looking at how much memory is being used"

my computer is using about 36% right now and that is how I like it. In my
opinion, it's good to have free memory so I know I can run programs that use
alot of memory with no problem. Memory not being used isn't money wasted.
I am happy with mine using only 36% right now. Then when I load up my Lord
of the Rings Online game for example it runs great. If I didn't have that
free ram then I wouldn't be able to run it.
Maybe some people like to have their memory used up but I don't. Just my
opinion.
