    My g1s is brand new and is now free of bloatwares
    Is it normal when i m doing absolutly nothing and that there are no major apps running in the background that the physical mem usage is at 37% with 2 gig of ram? Does vista eats up all that ram?

    Yep, its not unsual. You can see what Vista is running in the task manager.

    do some research on how vista manages ram differently than xp, its not a bad thing that its always using some of your ram (when you're idled, it lends it to programs or games that need it when its not idling)
