I just got a Dell Inspiron 600m laptop with 1.3MHz
Centrino processor and 768MB DDR RAM. So far it's been
great, until the last couple of days when it started
slowing down. Before, I was able to run 3-5 programs at
the same time and the available RAM was still up around
500MB, but lately I noticed that the available RAM would
suddenly jump from near 700MB to a mere 4MB. I also
noticed that at this time, the page file usage would jump
up drastically from its usual level of about 200MB to a
staggering 1.06GB!!! Does anyone know what could be
causing this problem and how I would go about fixing it?

Thanks
