3GB of RAM is not enough. You're most likely causing the system to use the virtual memory (hard drive) which is extremely slow (comparitivly)

Is there anything i can do besides buying more ram?

I do agree that memory seems to be your bottle neck.


yepp, 0 free physical memory

Disregard this however.

Vista manages memory differently than XP. on my work machine, I have 4gb of ram on Vista 64, and with only two applications open, i only show 6Mb free.
