Just as a quick side note...
Windows Vista and Windows 7 will reserve about 45% of the installed memory until you get up into the 6 GB range...then it starts reserving a little over 20%. While these figures may seem like Windows is hogging all the memory, it's really not. It utilizes the memory it has reserved until it needs more...then will take from what's available from the installed memory it hasn't reserved. If you use a "RAM Monitor" gadget to watch RAM usage, Windows Vista and Windows 7 rarely dip into the non-reserved memory.
