    Why does the usage of my 16 gb ram not go over 6.5 gb?


    Checking the Performance of my 64 bit laptop with 16 gb of RAM through Task Manager, I watched the memory being used as I opened 8 tabs with various sites and files from my SSD. I could not get the RAM in use to go over 6.5 gb. Would this be an indication that for my use, I only need 8 gb of RAM, not 16? Is there a way to make use of my nearly 10 extra gb of RAM that evidently is not used or should I save some money by next time buying an 8 gb RAM computer.

    :)
