Vista - SuperFetch + Cached memory

Ok, had this problem in pre-rc1 also.... superfetch seem to take almost all
available free ram leaving me 30-40 meg free. It seems to put it all in
Cached memory. According to task manager my current stats are:
Physical Memory (MB)
Total 2046
Cached 1668
Free 11

Page File 627/4315M

Physical Memory: 24%


Is this normal?

This is normal.

Yes, I believe that is normal. If a program needs memory Vista will free it
up. The idea is that free memory is wasted memory. Vista uses it to improve
system performance until it's needed by other applications.
