in the task manager
there is a column that shows
memory usage for each process
on the processes tab.
be sure to enable the columns
via the menu view option.
then you can calculate the percentage
yourself by using the "total physical
memory" on the performance tab.
for example:
+ 42.5 (explorer process size)
/ 425 (megs of used physical memory)
-----------------------------
= 0.10 (percent)
there might be third party
software that does this
calculation, but i would
be reluctant to use them
since it would be constantly
calculating as the processes
and memory fluctuate continuously.
however, you might want to
print the task manager processes and
use excel to calculate your percentage.
also, keep in mind that some
processes for software that
you have closed are still
lingering into memory.
so a memory defragger is
helpful in clearing the
unneeded processes out
of memory.
here is the one i use:

if you choose to use it
as well, then here are a
couple of tips:
set the slider to 75% &
run and close the program
as needed, instead of letting
it run continuously in memory.
it can also print the processes
as well.
