Windows 7 (and Vista) are not like previous versions. They will try make use of as much ram as possible while doing simple things like browsing through your computer or browsing the internet. When you open a program that does require usage of the ram Windows 7 will allocate the memory needed to the program. If you were running Windows XP and your memory usage was around 1.7GB/2GB then yes I would be worried but 1.7GB is perfectly normal for Windows 7. Windows 7 will try max out your Ram modules to give you a nice fast experience. You should be able to open up 50 processes and then try watch a HD movie and it should play without skipping as Windows knows this is the program that needs the memory.
