What I mean by 800MB is that when the computer starts, it loads 800mb
worth of software into the ram, so there is only 200mb remaining from
the total 1GB. If I open just one more application, such as office
writer (with no document loaded) then this remaining 200mb will
disappear too.

I have also attached a screenshot of system monitor too for your info.
