Yeah, almost certainly the software only uses 4GB because it limits itself to what memory it has available.

I have seen this conversation pan out a few times already. It has always been because of that, and once expanded things work much better. (Personally I have never took party at one, I guess that's luck.)

I phrased that panel poorly. App in question always had 16 GB and still never used above 4.

Does the OS really eat up 7GB RAM?

Oh, ok, I overlooked it has space to grow. This is one conversation I've never seen.
