I have a strange(or not) problem. Whenever i copy something to my
hard drive,either a dvd or some large files from a cd, the
computer becomes extremly slow beacause all the ram is used by
something. The amount of available physical memory drops to 3 or
4 MB in about 30 sec (while the file is being copied) ,then rises when the copying is finished.

Before copying:

After 20-30sec

Aftert the copying the amount of available memory is back to normal but all programs are cleared from ram so even switching[ALT+TAB] to another open aplication like notepad it takes forever. Why is this happening?

Every process is taking a normal ammount of memory.There are 2 proc taking 20MB and the others are less.Any way all together are way less than the missing memory.

Can you give us a screenie of the process list (according to memory usage)?
