Hello Squa,
The cached memory is what is being used by '*Superfetch*'
(http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/72293-superfetch-memory-prefetcher.html).
It makes use of your available RAM by loading what it thinks you need
into memory to help it load faster when you need it. If you do not need
this data, then it will dump it automatically when it needs to load
something else. It is recommended to leave Superfetch enabled for the
best performance. As they say, idle RAM is wasted RAM. You will always
have all of your RAM available when needed for something else though.
Hope this helps,
Shawn
