      open a terminal and type "free" in it then press enter you will see the RAM usage ,,,,,post the output hear .

      another nice way to see this is the program "top" open it the same way as free.

              I have 8 gigs in my machine, I think I have only ever seen it use a grand total of 2 gigs under the heaviest mulit-tasking condition (torrent seeding, transcoding, email, messenger, browser, rythmbox, etc etc open all at the same time) I have ever thrown at it, that doesn't include the disk cache, which gets kicked aside when that RAM is needed. You WANT your OS to utilize your RAM, makes your system instantaneously responsive and snappy. ;-)

                Only twice have I managed to use all of my 18 gigs of ram (excluding disk cache of course), once when Qt Creator had been running for a few days and had sprung a memory leak and once when I tried to compile qt with the -j option just to see what would happen... naturally with that much ram I didn't have any swap to it all went to hell both times
