goto start, goto run, and type "NET STOP Themes" and see if that helps. Doing that turns off the windows themes service, which can hog quite a bit of memory.

RE: Game problem
Have you tried setting the quality of games to medium or low and turning off anti-alising? Maybe your settings are too high for your processor and gfx card. Question: Which games are you playing, and are you playing them online? If you are, which connection speed do you have?

Have you tried re-starting your computer and loading nothing, but the game after the re-start?

Can you open Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) and post a screenshot of the process list? It's just to double check that you don't have any background processes running.
