Where are you getting those numbers? Task Manger? Do you mean that is your free memory? Don't worry about it. Free memory is wasted memory.

Windows will gobble up whatever memory it can get to use to improve OS and program performance. No one likes this answer, but think about it...what good is a bunch of free (unused memory) good for?

For loading programs into. But I understand what you're saying. Memory not used for programs is usually applied to the disk cache. If you have lots of memory you can still have a large disk cache and run lots of programs. I still wouldn't call free memory bad or a waste - because you've got space should the demand suddenly increase.
