 These days, that ping response may be the network card itself,
 and not the machine at all.

 Really ?
 How long have you waited ?
 Remember, Linux, any linux, is not windows !
 RAM is managed quite differently.
 In fact, it's a good thing for the machine to be using 
 close to ALL of the RAM !

 Now, if it's swapping excessively, then it is short of RAM, but at 4G I'd find
 that difficult to believe.
 More likely, you have a failing power supply, ( that's what I would try first )
 or a failing motherboard.

 The only thing killing off processes will get you, is extremely slow response
 when they need to be reloaded, and won't help anyway if hardware is failing.
