1.5 GB does seem slightly high, mine uses just over 1 GB under light load.

However, depends on what background programs you have running.

Worth checking MSCONFIG to see if any programs/services are starting on boot that you don’t need. These would occupy RAM when idle.

Also, in task manager (right click the taskbar and click ‘task manager’), goto the ‘processes’ tab, and it should show you how much RAM each process is using.

As for registry cleaners. There CAN be some benefit to cleaning out the registry, if mass uninstalling/installing has occurred, or other such large scale changes to the resgitry have occured.

HOWEVER, best to generally leave it well alone.

I always found CCleaner to be not bad for a quick registry work over. But I would not use it more than once, and it will delete key (not as in important, but as in actual key) values, that will simply be rebuilt next time you reboot, and thus wont change a thing, but may instead, accidentally cause a corruption or error while cleaning the registry, registering your windows installation broken, until you can fix that registry issue.

The best way to maintain your PC is:

1. regular reboots (e.g. don’t always put it to sleep (if you do) but reboot occasionally)

rebooting clears alot of temp files not needed anymore, and finalizes some installs into registry.

2. Uninstall Programs/Delete Files Not Needed

Anything you don’t need on your computer, don’t have on your computer. The more stuff on it, the most stuff can go wrong. Delete everything you can, and then:

3. Defrag

Providing you aren’t using an SSD (you would know if you were, and thus would presumably know not to defrag an SSD.):

Only really needs to be done every couple of months, and even then, with windows 7, unless you are constantly installing/uninstalling, moving about hundreds of files and programs, you most likely wont really need to do it at all.

And, finally, as a last resort, if you can, and know how, the best thing for a PC is a clean install of the operating system. Clean installing windows 7 would make your PC good as new (obviously), however, obviously again, only do this if you know what you are doing.

Good luck

I do not recommend using registry cleaners, the best case scenario is only a very small difference, and the worst case scenario is potentially huge.
