Well, fluent will just use what memory it needs, and if there isn't enough memory it will complain about it.

The half-cpu usage thing is to do with hyper-threading. This basically means your computer is pretending to have twice as much CPU power as it actually does. If you switch off hyper-threading this will go away.

Ram can't be set, FLUENT allocates it only if needed.
