Nothing really strange here.
If you use Windows XP, and maybe some background software (anti-virus for exemple).
Is XP your operating system?

XP runs at lot of services by default which you may not need, check out the site below, this will help you disable these services and thus free up more RAM.
Make sure you create a system restore point before hand though!
You can access 'Services' via Start > Control Panel > Settings > Administrative Tools > Services
Good Luck!
