is it just me, or does vista eat up your memory. right now, i'm running about 50 friggin processes, using 75% (768mb) or my ram. are there any processes/services i can disable?

i found a place that has a list of vista services and recommended settings.
i now have around 42 processes, 44% memory usage.
i'll probably get another gig on the weekend.
