Actually, 50-60% is within the normal range. After a fresh boot, my ram usage is at 44% but as soon as I do anything (and I mean anything, even if I just open the start menu) the ram jumps up to almost 50%

As for the task manager, it will show all running programs, but not all running processes. As for me, I set up the task manager to close on 'X' instead of minimize on 'X'. To do this, click the task manager button, then click the wrench and go to the button tab and select 'End programs by tapping "X"'.

If you still have ram issues after all this, install the cab below and run the program on level 2 once in a while to dump the ram
