It's like the system isn't releasing the ram once the game is over. My last Build had this problem but not that severe. Have you typed msconfig at the run box to see if there is anything you can turn off at start up. What Virus scanner & firewall do you use. Are you using Norton or Zone alarm? The reason I ask is cause there memory hogs.
