I have 16gb of RAM, but only 10gb are usable?
Hello everyone,
I have a Mid 2012 15" Macbook Pro running Yosemite. When I first got it, I upgraded to 16gb of 1600 MHz DDR3 RAM because I would be needing it for a lot of the programs I run. I have the 2.3 GHz i7 processor. Stock 500gb hard drive. No matter what I do it says that I have at max 10 gb available at a time. Here is what it says as of 5 minutes ago:
App Memory: 3.38 gb
File Cache: 1.8 gb
Wired:1.42 gb
Compressed: 10.23 mb
Used: 6.63 gb
Total: 16.00 gb
One thing That I knew was taking some was VMware fusion, for which I dedicated 2 gb to the virtual machine, but I recently deleted it and I didn't see any difference. I also have bootcamp installed, but that shouldn't make much of a difference. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
