Welcome to the forums .. well you have more then 10mb free .. vista by default cache alot of memory for better use .. so unless your laptop is slowing down to a crawl .. it's better that the OS is using the memory to effectively run your computer then not using it ..

As far as your graphics subsystem that is done in the bios

Thanks for your quick response, yes the system is crawling especially in intensive IO.
So Please if any one knows the method to reduce the graphics card memory and give it back to the main memory.

Well like i said when you first boot up your laptop you can go into the bios and change it but if it's at 64mb that is min. spec

One thing i would suggest is goto - start - run - msnconfig ( type )

disable all those things in the startup that are eating up memory also

Do you run programs like McAffee .. delete it .. it's crap and will eat memory to no end
