why is my memory operating at 36-37% constantly? even when im not doing anything?

i have 4 gb and its in my sig

is this normal or is something wrong herE?
 
That is normal. It is where the different sections of your OS, the programs you have running in the background, what you have up on screen and every other little bit of software running whilst idle is

=EDIT=

you had best feel privileged, I just closed every program I had open to show you it is normal :P

With just my desktop up, nothing else, I'm at 31%.

Previously, with Chrome + 10 tabs, MS Visual Studio running VB.NET + my program, itunes, 2 separate MS Word files and WoW, I was at ~70%

I too am running with 4GB of memory, as you can see in my sig

that is a lot of help aasti :D thanks

quick question, (bit off topic) but i think your probably the guy to help, im trying to max out WaW but im having trouble getting consistent good FPS, is this aproblem with my hardware ( i know its outdated) or my monitor?

i ask about the monitor as its a crap old school one (is flat though) at current i can get eveyrthing high on 1024-784 (i think thats it) but 1280-1024 is a nightmare for fps drop
 
I doubt it would be your monitor.

Download MSI afterburner from here:

http://event.msi.com/vga/afterburner/images/MSIAfterburnerSetup210.zip

install it, and run it. Open up task manager too (right click your clock at the bottom right and click start task manager). Start playing WaW, and after being in game and you notice the FPS decrease, press alt + tab simultaneously to come out of the game (it will minimise at the bottom).

Look at the graphs on MSI afterburner and on task manager. There should be one for memory, one for CPU and on MSI afterburner, look at GPU usage. One of these should be pinned at 100%. Identify which it is and that is what will be holding you back.

Also, make sure on the game settings you have sync every frame DISABLED. What this does is try to keep at a constant 60 fps, but it will often cause stutter or lag. You are much better having it disabled and letting it run at higher (if it can). You will only see 60FPS because of your monitor having only 60Hz refresh rate, but because it is constantly at or exceeding that, you won't notice any lag or stutter
