You're crowding it pretty hard.
Go to the Resource Monitor from its button in Task Manager and post a screen shot of the memory tab showing the colored bars at the bottom of the window. You may have a considerable amount of memory devoted to hardware reserved.
You might be a good candidate for an upgrade to 64 bit and 8 gb of RAM, but it's hard to say that you would necessarily notice the difference. Is anything annoyingly slow with just 4 GB?
