I'm not looking to play games on it.

 What are you looking to do with it?

chrome
why you use so much ram

= 272,148K = ~266MB = ~0.519 sticks of 512MB RAM
that's just starting up
with 4 tabs open
= 411,816K = ~402MB = ~0.785 sticks of 512MB RAM
i know it's not much for systems with 2GB or more but i now realize why my laptop lagged so bad with chrome

[Treynolds416]

I'm going to start finiding build parts for a high-end gaming computer, anything special I should know?
What I think I will get so far:
CPU: Core i5-3450, second choice: i5-2500k
GPU: GeForce GTX 670: Gigabyte N670OC-2GD, no second choice yet

Chrome sometimes uses 15% of my CPU even without any windows open.

If I wanted to install more RAM, is there anything I should know beforehand?

Also, could you direct me to a good place to buy some?

Lately having only 4GB has been kinda fsdfs.

If it's windows 7 it pretty likely 64bit

Thanks to AMD all 64-bit processors should be backwards compatible. That means you can run 32-bit systems and programs on your 64-bit processor.
