I have an ASUS P4P800dlx MB with 1 gig of Corsair PC3700 xms ram. Cpu
is a P4 2.8ht.

My question is that no matter what load I give the system it only uses
33% of the ram available. How do I increase the ram usage ? No use
having extra ram if the system dosen't know how to use it.

At the present time I have my swap file placed on my 2nd harddrive,
size was locked at 2.5 gigs as suggested by various mags I have read.

OS is XP sp1

Run programs that actually need the extra RAM.

If programs don't need the RAM, it will never be used.
If they tell Windows they need it, Windows will let them
use it.
