You have a system with 16GB of RAM (2x8GB) at 3000MHz. Previously, you experienced high usage above 50%, but now it stays under 44% even after changes. After replacing the RAM sticks and swapping their positions, the usage dropped significantly. It seems your setup is now stable within safe limits. If you're still curious, let me know if you want tips on optimizing performance or checking stability.

Hmm, you're using as much memory as required for these jobs. Running at half capacity doesn't imply you're wasting half your RAM; the processes currently aren't demanding it fully. Pushing it too high could cause delays since data would have to be swapped out to slower storage.

If there’s no noticeable impact on performance, you don’t need to be concerned. It could be an update in one of your running applications that reduces memory usage.

However, it wouldn't reach the maximum limit, as I mentioned earlier it would cap at 10g. The issue is that when I switch tabs and leave everything else running, except for force, it becomes slow—even Google Chrome starts lagging due to this.

RAM plays a small role in overall speed, really. It mainly matters when you hit the limit, then Windows begins using disk space. At half capacity, it doesn’t trigger any issues.

You're not getting the full performance, it's capped at 50% and won't increase no matter how much you try. Even though the system starts to slow down, it can't exceed that limit.

You're confusing the signs. A 50% usage rate indicates sufficient memory for current tasks, not a problem. If you see a higher percentage, like 100%, that points to an issue beyond your RAM.
