Strange RAM problem

Hello all.

Strange question here...
Lately whenever my PC is done booting up I see down in my taskbar (I have Memturbo running there) that my RAM is down to like 382mbs. I have to run Memturbo to regain my RAM. If I don't, my RAM is always hovering around there. I have very little running in the background to be eating that much RAM. I never had that problem before I installed Vista. Does anyone know what could be causing my RAM to drop down like that??
As you can see...I have plenty of RAM installed, but am thinking now of going to 2GB's.
Any suggestions??

Programs like MemTurbo are totally unnecessary.

doesn't matter how much RAM you put in, superfetch will gladly use it all up.
