  The OS doesn't take half a gigabyte of RAM. That would be ridiculous
(even for Windows). You can actually see the amount of free RAM from the
task manager, and there's usually just some tens of megabytes less than
your total amount of physical RAM in the worst cases.

  And you shouldn't be running RAM-heavy apps at the same time you are
playing.
