I'd be more bothered about where it's all gone rather than just throwing some more space at it m8, if it's been working OK then why has it changed?
I'd check the sys with spybot and virus checkers then see how much is actually running on the system without being requested.
Taskmanager will show what's running and the resources in use - ctrl+alt+del.
MSconfig will show what gets loaded automatically on startup - start > run > msconfig.
