Hi there,
I have a question that I'm not sure is a general occurrence with Windows, as opposed to just Windows 8. Nevertheless, it seems like Windows is somehow reserving/using ~ 1 GB of memory.
It seems like the user is using 1GB less than the total used memory on the system. In other words, the processes add up to <1GB, but the usage is ~2GB. How is that possible? There are no other users logged into the machine.
I might be wrong, but I'm under the impression that the process list memory usage will add up to the total memory used.
Please note that the computer has 4GB installed (and 1GB is allocated to VRAM), so I'm aware that only 3GB RAM is usable, there is still a 1GB discrepancy which I'm unsure about.
This is a corporate environment (although desktops are standalone), and I've seen this most Win8 machines.
Thank you!
