System resources and Ram are two different things:

System Resource FAQ:
System Resource Explanation Things to try:

Close windows not being used.

Close programs not needed that load when you start Windows. To determine what programs are running, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, and make a note of all the programs listed. Determine which programs must run all of the time (Explorer and Systray etc.), and then quit the remaining programs. To quit a program, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE, click the program you want to quit, and then click End Task.

Better yet disable some applications that start automatically when you start Windows. Run msconfig and go to the Startup Tab and disable anything that isn't necessary.

Clean out your Clipboard. Whenever you copy a large amount of information to the clipboard, it will stay there until something else is copied into it.

Don't use wallpaper.

If you run an application that uses system resources every time it runs, try to keep it open instead of closing and reopening it many times during the day.

Try not to load fonts that aren't needed (too many fonts in the Fonts folder).

Don't use screen savers.
