Physical Memory Usage High at Startup on Vista?

[DrSatanDracula]

When I turn on my computer, previously the physical memory stress would be hovering below 10 percent, but now, after fixing a problem causing me many issues ( http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,93277.0.html ) I have a weird issue that I am not sure if I should be concerned with or not...

Basically, when I turn on my computer the physical memory usage is at around 40 percent (from the Windows Task Manager). That is about 1.75 GB of memory according to the same.

Is there a way to remedy this? I am not seeing any sort of downside as it stands now. It doesn't seem like my computer is running slow. I did a virus scan and also defragmented and what not, just to do some basic maintenance. Neither came up with something nor solved the issue.

My CPU usage is at 1-2 percent.

My specs are:

Windows Vista 64-bit Home
4 GB RAM
768 MB NvIdia Geforce 9600 GS
Intel I7 740 quad-core 64-bit procesor at 2.93 GHZ.

My temperatures are:

CPU Core 1: 45 C
CPU Core 2: 45 C
CPU Core 3: 45 C
CPU Core 4: 45 C
GPU Diode: 64 C
Samsung HD642JJ: 26 C

Normal in Vista.
Vista handles RAM differently, than previous Windows versions: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000688.html

IT persists for a long while at this level. Everything is cool with this?

Thanks for your help AGAIN, Broni. You da man.

My RAM usage is at 58% at this moment.
It's perfectly normal.
If you read the article, you know.
Vista (as well as Win 7) will take any amount of RAM, it can get and it'll cache it, so it'd ready to use, if needed.
Vista's motto: "unused memory is a wasted memory".

In the "performance" tab you can see how much is cached. I have over 5GB of RAM dedicated to the cache; and the remainder is in use, except for a mere 64MB.

If the system is running normally why are you even opening task manager? Don't look for problems that don't exist.
