Do I Need More Memory ?

Currently running Vista Premium and task manager tells me that
Physical Memory - 893
Cached - 476
Free - 0

Kernel memory - 75
Paged - 49
Nonpaged - 25

Physical Memory usage is on average 60 percent.


I'm asking this question as my hard-drive is always ticking away, ever since
I upgraded to Vista. I was told that it was indexing and defrag but the
thing is, the hard drive
light is always flashing but generally not intensively.

If I do have a lack of memory, is there anything I can do to free up memory
such as disabling
some features of Vista ? Would disabling the aero theme make much of a
difference ?

Sorry, wrong newsgroup.
My apologies.
