why does my used memory go all the way up to 20%?

I've got the latest JAVA

Processor: an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T6400 @2.00GHZ
Installed memory (RAM): 4.00 GB
System type: 64-bit Operating System
Windows 7 Ultimate

Dude, thats not to high..

Do you get memory errors?

It goes up to 20% because Minecraft uses roughly 1-2GB of memory (RAM) to run, and you have 4GB... so it should be about 20%. It gives you an accurate guess. -.-

ok but my friend has a rely old computer that's even worse an the red memory usage line never goes all the way to the top of the screen when you press f3 like mine dose only 3 seconds after i press it

lol at 20 percent.

Mine is at 80 percent and slowly rises from there.

Only 20% for you?

I get around 30% and I have 8gb ram, i7 quadcore processor, 64bit, w7 OS

with TNT , I can easily saturate my 16GB quickly :tongue.gif:
