any way to clear cached ram or tell it to sort the modfied ram so it can be used

[mimizukari]

don't understand your concern. your OS uses ram for its system files (especially windows vista, this is the worst OS to have, for many reasons if you're a gamer)

Do not clean the ram memory

[Darren]

This is entirely normal. The OS will free memory for you as you need it for other things.

[samcan244(73 61 6d)]

yes but its stupidly high like the os is using all of the ram it could use and the 5gb moded ram would be much better used if it just wrote it to the disk instead of holding it and the reason imm asking is becuse when imm trying to play ds3 or somthing like that and it clears ram its horrable as it keeps freeqing it up

You don't understand how PCs even work dude. I suggest you start with basic PC 100, and work your way up to 101. Because what you're asking is a really stupid question, and not one that somebody would ask if they had a clue about how PCs worked. But I'm not here to educate you, I'm here to tell you that you should educate yourself.

...i was just asking if anyone knew how to clear the in use ram becuse when you are playing somthing and it freezes up the program to clear that ram thats in use(the modfied or standby) its quite annoying

That isnt excessive ram usage. The OS is allocating memory to applications. Most of it isnt even being used its just 'allocated' becauase memory allocation takes time and is inefficient to constantly check if something 'needs' memory.

Unix systems allocate ALL AVAILABLE MEMORY upon boot. Then as applications request it, the kernel will carve up memory to specific processes based on their needs

We are no longer in XP days. You do not have to 'manage' memory. The OS is smarter than people are at memory management. Let its do its job.

As the image tells you, you have 9199GB of RAM available. That most of it is currently listed as standby is irrelevant. Memory doesn't need to be deleted, if another process or in this case Dead Space 3 needs it, access to it is instant. Actual free, empty RAM is wasted money, since it's doing nothing for your system.

Dead Space 3 freezing is unrelated to your RAM, start looking for other possible causes.

You could read up on page filing if you are competent enough to use it :)

Idk if this will help but I use Advanced System care that you can shut down unwanted processes automatically so you can play games more easily. This is how it looks on my bg and in program. When ram usage gets too high you can 'clean' it.

advanced systemcare has a rootkit virus in it, don't recommend installing that...

[zZzooey.exe]

Nah mate, it doesnt. If you download it, it has a chance to download something else without permission, aka, if you dont read setup properly and just click next because its greyed out. Systemcare itself is not a virus.

[Kargor]

Just think about it like this: why did you buy that RAM in the first place, if you don't want it to be used?

The operating system will manage the RAM, don't worry. It will discard cached data in a flash if it decides the RAM can be put to better use elsewhere.

Playing ds3 with "just" 4gb ram in total is fine.
Now you have 16gb ram. And you claim its freezing because you only have 9gb "free".....

I am trying to do the math, but it doesnt make sense.

i ment dark souls 3 and that will chew up ram and i beleved it was a ram problem becuse the free and cached was changing very suddnly(same time game froze) ive got advanced system care and installed it correctly and i dont truse the os to do memory management or much to be honest as i had a pc windows tryed to kill and 1 thay did and if the ram is filled with random stuff(like whats waiting to be written to disk it slows the ram down for the rest of the system
