<div dir="ltr"><span class="">oh. so then 'unclaimed' is synonymous with 'unused'
in this case.
</span><div class="gmail_extra"><br>
Not familiar with this word usage but it makes sense. It's
unused potential CPU<br>
power because more RAM can make a CPU much more powerful!<br>
<br>
Then there's swap area provided by the disk. If you don't have
enough RAM,<br>
then your CPU is constantly swapping out RAM to the disk which
means that your<br>
"memory" is running at the speed of the disk I/O.<br>

Someone covered this before, remember? If you are running Windows with a 32bit OS,
then you can only access about 3.5 GB of RAM. Otherwise, I wouldn't worry too much.
If you have a lot of RAM or much more than you are using, then you will have unused
RAM of course.
