windows 8 - Is this RAM usage normal (huge non-paged pool)?


I bought an ultrabook today. It boots extremely quickly and everything, so obviously some sophisticated techniques are involved, but I'm confused because task manager shows over 80% RAM usage when I'm only running a web browser...


After further inspection I noticed that active processes add up to over 1GB (pretty normal) and over 2GB are assigned to a non-paged pool. What does it mean? Can it be normal on an ultrabook? If not, how should I fix it?


Here's the Task Manager

UPDATE: I tried disabling every single startup program, scheduled task, also temporarily uninstalled "Kaspersky Internet Security". No luck.

Guess what guys. It looks like there is no memory leak after all!


"Samsung" was generous enough to enhance my notebook with a tool called "IntelliMemory" which flew past my bloatware-radar because initially I thought this was related to "Ïntel". It "intelligently manages my cache allocating it to RAM" but actually I think it is crap and a memory hog, besides all storage is SSD anyway.


Peace.
