Noticed my RAM usage was around 41% when just browsing internet. So, getting more RAM was a good move, until I saw the usage shoot to 52%.

And you already know who eats that much RAM.

PS: Maybe it's some extension, because I just have 2 tabs open and killing that process didn't kill any tab.

    Nah, just open chrome's task manager with <shift>+<esc> and you'll see a happy "Browser" task eating unhealthy :P

    Unused RAM is wasted RAM. It probably eats more so it can GC less often, giving you a better experience :)

    Chrome: I'll just take all unused Ram, since your not using it. You'll get It back when you need it. I promise.

    Me: Hello, Chrome. I want some RAM for something else now.

    Chrome: Nah. It's mine.

    Has anyone of you any experiences with the extension called "the great suspender"? It suspends unused tabs to free up memory

    Wrote a rant about this a couple of weeks back. I had 8-9 chrome.exe processes running and I hadn't started chrome yet.
