Uninstall programs you arn't using and make sure you don't have spyware and viruses eating your memory? :-/

Use a RAM manager like TuneUP MemOptimiser

Those files aren't even close to being illegal.... :s

anyways, the whole TuneUp utilities program is pretty sweet to keep your computer in good shape, it helps a lot.

I dont trust tune up utillities any more, the last 2 times i used em it fucked up my PC. Just check for Spyware/adware, and get an app like CCleaner to clean your reg.

I like to run Ad-aware, spyware and reg cleaning programs on a regular basis, my pc has been running smooth since I got it. That was almost 2 years ago, and its still faster and better than some of my mates that they have got recently, cause theres is packed with adware, spyware and other unecessary things, run these cleaners frequently, trust me, you'll see a definite change.. I use:

Ad-aware SE
SpyBot Search and Destroy
TweakNow RegCleaner
CCleaner
MemOptimizer

Do What traxor said an you should be Ok.

MemOptimizer does something like Cleaning up after the programs to free more memory, in SP1 you coud set something like this in Windows, but i cant find it any more.

Can anyone tell me if Mem Optimizer really helps on 2GB of RAM?

I would also recomend Spyware Blaster to stop at leas some/most spyware/adware to even download and install itself on ur PC
