How to save RAM from unwanted software

RAM ( random access memory ) is used by all of the programs that you run on your computer. Everything that a program loads up is stored in random access memory ( pictures, text, programming language data ). Nowadays, 4 GB or RAM is a very recommended minimum when buying a new computer, but older ones still have 1 or 2 gigabytes of it ( mostly win xp or vista ). Windows 7 eats more ram than vista and xp. I personally have 7 professional ( 64-bit )  and it takes about 1,3 GB-s.

Because the operating system already eats a lot of RAM, we dont want other unnecessary programs to waste it, do we?

Regular version of pro is about 140 $.

If you're planning to wait for the official release, you'll get the upgrade package for 40 $ ( it's pro ). Thats a little bit more than half the money you'd have to pay now, and in my oppinion it's a good save for 2 weeks.
