    Windows vista pre-caches the RAM memory with programs that you run most times, so loading times of these seem reduced.

    If you see, you have:
    3581 total RAM
    53 of non-cached, free ram
    2152 cached RAM <- with those program files.

    cached RAM does not mean it's used or non-free ram, because if you start an application that has not it's files precached in the RAM, windows vista will make room for it don't worry.

    I hope I made myself clear :p
