This is good advice, although I never follow it.
I tried to keep my background programs to a minimum, but after 6 years or so I find myself running a lot of shit in the background that I actually use so...

This is one of the reasons why I think 4gb ram isn't enough anymore.

edit: atm i'm using 2.75gb ram. =s
