Open up your Control Panel and click on "Check this computer's security status." When the Windows Security Center comes up, under "Other Security Settings," there's a field called "User Account Control." Turn that off and reboot, and it shouldn't prompt to make changes anymore.

Yeah, Vista actually uses RAM instead of just shoving stuff in a page file - go figure. Once I'm done booting, I'm using about 500MB of memory, and I've seen it get up to 1300ish. Isn't something you should have to worry about.

Hmm. It sounds like you've already changed the power profile, but just in case, Control Panel / Hardware and Sound / Power Options. Haven't messed with it on a notebook yet, myself, so I can't say for sure if that'll fix your problem.
