Its not unusual for an update to cause the system to use more memory.

Why mandai? i would like to know

It depends which specific update you are talking about. Some updates will just append existing code.

Its been a looong time since I upgraded anything in my computer but in my old computer when I upgraded ram and gfx card it did seem to use more resources than normal but the consumption went down after a couple of days and I think its just because your computers in shock because of the new parts and doesnt quite know what to do with them yet but it will probably calm down in a few days and get use to it.

A lot of people dont believe it but every computer has its own personality and no 2 are the same. My computer is always complaining and moaning at me :?

If its things like windows updates using a lot of memory then I would say thats normal because when I updated yesterday (mainly the .net ones) my computer resources went through the roof for about an hour after restart while it was installing.

There should be no "shock" due to new hardware, unless this is before the correct drivers are installed.
Many devices will use a certain amount of shared memory.
