W2K, 1GB of ram, dual 1ghz processors.

I'm finding that for example when I open up photoshop 6, it takes up around 30mb of ram.

Then I start opening up some small jpgs (each less than 800kb) around 15 of them and the memory usage (in taskbar) goes up to 300mb !! 8)

Then I open up 3DS Max, it takes around 60mb of ram, and you can ONLY open ONE file at a time with Max, so I'm playing with ONE file, NOT a big file at all, take a look in Task Manager and it has taken a chunk of 300mb as well 8)

What is going on ??

Can I do anything to fix this or is this normal ??

BTW, it cannot be normal, because if I close all the files in Photoshop and just leave the application open, it still says 300mb
