What is your physical memory usage with these "minimum"requirements running on Vista?

I just set up Outlook for the first time......Have it running now along with Windows Live One Care (That I like more then Mcafee) Microsoft Defender, SideBar, AOL, Playa Info, Photoshop, Skype, And the intranet from my work and I just cant believe how fast everything moves....Switching from one app to another is like a blink...Also the music on Vista sounds better then on XP....It's sharper and clearer but I would think that it has alot to do with ones sound card and speakers......
