PC too slow

Hi,
I am running a a network of a handful of PCs under a DC.
My PC (admin PC,) which has nothing much than other PCs apart from the AV
and the DB management consoles, became too slow recently.
When running a RAM monitor tool, the memory starts declining, by its own, in
the system idle state.
I am quite certain that I have no malware on the system but I can not figure
out what is up. If it is all about memory, which is currently 256, would a
memory increase help boost the system.
Thanks
Yba

Most definately YES increase the RAM to whatever you can afford, the speed
gain will be dramatic.

RAM is always your friend, I would run a minimum of 512 and up to the
maximum your board will hold.
