Skyrim and my RAM

I think there is something wrong with how skyrim handles my RAM

Id look at the task manager and see it only using 600-800MB leaving like 40% idle.

But when i play different games, dying light, GTA V, etc. its always using 1 - 1.5GB of RAM.

I think skyrim would run better if using maximum RAM but it never goes over 1GB.

Is this normal because skyrim demands less RAM than those other games?

 

 

Skyrim (latest ver)

SKSE (latest release)

I use ENBoost and memory patch.

202 Active plugins/mods.

 

Laptop specs:

 

Windows 8.0

AMD E2-1800 APU with Radeon HD Graphics 1.70ghz (2 cpus)

AMD Radeon HD 7340 Graphics (2GB Vram)

4GB RAM (3.5 Usable)

Okay i kinda fixed it.. i guess.

all i did was completely remove ENBOOST,

but i've been using enboost since ive started modding skyrim so this is weird.

i also got improved performance, i would set textures to high and i'd get alot of stutters.

after disabling enboost, stutters at high textures are significantly reduced. and my ram usage is now 1.5GB+

 

wtf enboost?

Using more ram is bad, enboost is good

 

Ram is a limited resource and because Skyrim is 32 bit you are limited to between 3 and 4 gb. If you take up to much you will ctd, idealy you want to run at 0 gb ram but thats impossible. Enboost does you a favoure by optimising the grafic to not store "unessary" data in your ram.
