Ram?

[Rigard]

Why does my 512mb RAM run at 448?

 

[Dngrsone]

448 what?

 

[Rigard]

448mb!

 

[Trotter]

because Windows is using the other 64MB.

You have processes running in the background all the time and these use system ram. To see what proceses are running hold down CTRL-ALT-DELETE and this will bring up the task manager. Click the processes tab and you can see what's running. I would reccomend NOT messing with anything in here as it can ruin your machine. 64mb dosent like a great deal of useage anyway.
