Disable superfetch if you don't want it fetching your RAM. Then you'll have a whole lot more free.

It does not use 1GB of RAM, it borrows 1GB of un-used RAM and if anything ever needs more, it will scale back to <300MB.

Never disable it, bad idea period.

So, how could be able to set it to use 1GB out of my 4 to store vista, the difference is only like 300MB between having 4GB and 8GB. I would not like to have to put 1GB aside, but rather, have it just use what it needs... |

Go into "my computer" and right click on your drive, select "properties" and down at the bottom uncheck "index drive for faster searching". It leads to a good deal of HDD thrashing.
Also under "defragment" on the "tools" tab, set it to run at 5:00AM or something.

Sorry to be rather off topic, but would disabling superfetch possibly make the stuttering in a few games go away?
