Turn off indexing service for all of your drives. I'm not sure if it will free up RAM, but it does use less resources turned off, it improves disk performance as well.

Another way to free up a LOT of resources is to disable many completely useless Windows services that are turned on by default. The preferred way to make changes to services is to launch services.msc from the Run option on the Start Menu. This is a MUCH more effective way to do this than msconfig, because it won't let you disable services critical to the system.
When you have the time, I suggest going through this list and disabling the services you don't need. Trust me, all of those services do add up.
