High Ram Usage?
I just got a new computer running Windows 7 64 bit.
For some reason I noticed my HD is always running. When I check the performance tab I'm at 0 free ram. (I have 8GB DDR3)
When I check my processes tab I don't have that much open. Anyone have any idea whats going on?
Thanks in advance.

If I remember correctly, what you are seeing is right. Its how Windows manages your memory. It follows the principle that any unused memory is wasted memory, so it will fill your ram with stuff the OS thinks you are going to use. (Don't quote me on that though)

What you're seeing is normal. Don't worry about it. It's just Windows storing a bunch of random shit into your memory that it thinks it might use in the future.
