remove applications that you dont use that might be running in the background, disable processes, a general tidy up etc..

CTRL, ALT, DEL > Processes > Order by Mem Usage. Have a look for yourself where all your memory is being used

Vista will give up the ram if something else requires it.

My freshly booted system was using 1.43 gig when I originally checked this post.
