    Ok... i know this is probably a dumb question to ask but im really not 100% positive. When i install/play pc games... Doesn't the cpu and gpu memory and ram that is used to play them all come back once the game is exited?? like.. if it takes say 2 gb for cpu and gpu and 3 gb for ram for ex... doesn't that just mean that it takes up that space 'while' the game is played and then given back once the game is quit?? I wanna play pc games for my pc but i dont want to use all my space up for general pc use! i wanna be able to play Crysis buut still have the fast computer speeds when not playing. so somebody.. anyboody.. i know i should already know this answer.. but please help!! THanks!

    Hi, yes once the game/program has been exited the space it's used will free up as the game/program is no longer required to be running in RAM.
