I have 4gb ddr3 memory .

Ive checked the new pretty task manager from Win8 and I saw upp to 30% memory usage without runing any app besides task manager ofc. I want to ask if is this normal ?

Ive took some screenshots for most of the entire taks manager window showing apps , background processes and windows processes ( sorry could capture the whole scrolling windows with snagit) ; the third one shows how they are ordered by memory usage :

took some screenshots from the performance tab also in the same task manager monitorizing my memory and GPU. Tell me if its ok:

The Windows Performance Toolkit (WPT) can be a valuable tool for analyzing GPU usage, disk usage, and system-wide memory usage, among other performance metrics. This toolkit includes the Windows Performance Recorder for recording traces and the Windows Performance Analyzer for in-depth analysis. Key points from the Windows Performance Toolkit analysis:
  • Windows Performance Toolkit Components: The Windows Performance Toolkit consists of tools like the Windows Performance Recorder for recording traces and the Windows Performance Analyzer for analyzing those traces in detail.
  • Performance Recording: Before analysis, recording a performance trace using the Windows Performance Recorder helps capture various metrics across...
