RAM MEMORY

Hi, i have 128MB on my PC, which says alot of when it was
purchased!! Only recently i have installed a meter, which
measures CPU usuage and displays memory information.

I noticed just by switching on my pc, and running the
meter that about 70% of my memory is already gone. Within
about 10-15 mins, i only have about 5-10% of my RAM left.

This may explain why my pc freezes now and then. is this
true?

I do understand the best way to solve this is to install
more RAM (hoping to buy a new PC in 6 months). Is there
anything that i can do to maintain more RAM - instead of
alot of it being used during the start up process.

please advise

regards

iqbal.
