All I can remember was that I went to my Start menu and had to do a search for something. I run a Vista 64 bit computer if that's any help.
Um... what?
I wasn't aware that you could "lower your RAM output" without physically reducing the amount of RAM you have in your computer....

You sure you're explaining the situation correctly?
You sure you're not talking about your page file, aka virtual memory? That's the only thing you can switch around, numerically, and it's basically just a certain amount of space on your harddrive that's used for temporary memory. Your hardware RAM capacity won't change unless you physically add or subtract your memory sticks.

Can you perhaps explain your scenario a little better?
