You do not need unused RAM memory on your computer. Period.
Unused RAM memory should more properly be called *useless* memory
because that is what it actually is - memory for which the Windows
Memory Manager has so far been totally unable to find any potentially
beneficial use for.
By design Windows will always attempt to find some use for every bit
of the installed RAM in the computer rather than just leaving the RAM
sit there idly going to rot. And just as soon as some better use
comes along for any of that RAM then Windows will instantaneously drop
the more trivial usages so as to free up whatever amount is now
required.
Hope this explains the situation.
Good luck
