Dude, 2 gigs is like bare minimum for Vista itself. Vista is a serious resource hog. You're probably barely getting a gig of memory for other applications. Add another gig if you're running 32bit. If 64, add another 2.

Edit:
I'm not saying 100 percent that it's your whole issue, but you have to realize that not only is the OS running at all times, but a ton of other background processes are running from third party software you may have installed, like antivirus and firewall, and anything else that's currently running on your PC.
If the Skype issue isn't resolved with more RAM, you won't have had upgraded for nothing.
If it's an internet connection problem, your program shouldn't be freezing.. so I doubt it's that.
