It could be one of the programs having a memory leak which is eating resources. It could also be part of Windows' habbit of preloading DLLs like Office or IE stuff. It could be influenced by having a whole heap of kruft in your registry.

All of these are technical things that you really can't do anything about. Something like Norton/Symantec Win Doctor (from the Norton Utilities package) will remove junk from your registry and will help a little. Probably won't perform miracles. Latest Windows updates can but don't always help.

or it could be faulty memory...

It could be faulty memory especially if nothing else has changed in the computer recently. If there's page faults and the like it could be the memory.

Though if the problem was happening before new ram was put in it's likely to be something else (unless the old ram is still in it)

Try wiping the drives and reinstalling the OS from scratch.

Only if you have backupos for everything, of course, but i've found the jump in speed is amazing. Seems to get rid of bunches of crap that you didn't know were there.

alternatively, defrag, run cleanup (this is prolly obvious) and do a search for temps and cookies (cos cleanup *still* manages to miss half of them)
