Before reading below, here's the summary.
If you are using several applications minimize your application before switching to the other.
Dont use shortcuts like Winkey+M or Winkey+D.
Minimising will free lots of resources.
Now, read on.

FREE OF COST: Increase your RAM and so ur system speed
Now this is called a tip of the year! While working with the Task
Manager I observed the following. You can also try it out.
1. Start any application, say Word. Open some large documents.
2. Now start the Task Manager Processor tab and sort the list in
descending order on Memory Usage. You will notice that Winword.exe
will be somewhere at the top, using multiple MBs of memory.
3. Now switch to Word and simply minimize it.
(Do not use the Minimize All option of the task bar).
4. Now go back to the Task Manager and see where Winword.exe is
listed. Most probably you will not find it at the top. You will
typically have to scroll to the bottom of the list to find Word.
Now check out the amount of RAM it is using.
Surprised? The memory utilization has reduced by a huge amount.
5. So where is the tip of the year? Simple-minimize each application
that u are currently not working on by clicking on the Minimize button
& u can increase the amount of available RAM by a substantial margin.
Depending upon the number and type of applications you use together,
the difference can be as much as 50 percent of extra RAM and all this
is free of cost!
It is nothing unexpected actually. In any multitasking system,
minimizing an application means that it won't be utilized by the user
right now. Therefore, the OS automatically makes the application use
virtual memory & keeps bare minimum amounts of the code in physical RAM.
