So I have cleaned it out f any viruses/syware/malware, but I looked at performane in task manager, and this is what it says for physical memory:
Total: 1917
Cached: 1475
Free: 19

Is that good? It seems like i should have more free....Do you mean here?

yes....Straight from the Microsoft WEBSITE:

Total entry shows the amount of RAM installed in the system.
The Cached entry indicates the amount of physical memory used recently for system RESOURCES. This memory will REMAIN in the cache in case the system resources are needed again, but it's available should other operations need it.
The Free entry indicates the amount of memory that is currently not being used or does not CONTAIN useful information.

As you can see, adding up the numbers here isn't exactly a straightforward proposition. The system actually has 1 GB of RAM which comes out to 1024 MB and the onboard video has access to 128 MB of that memory, yet the Total entry indicates that 958 MB is available and the bar chart shows that 702 MB is being used.
