My bro was around today, and showed me something simple to help save some memory. If you're anything like me, and have at least 10 IE windows open at any given time, than this tip will be useful to you.

Instead of opening a new internet explorer window from your IE shortcut/quick launch or whatever, do File > New Window or CTRL+N. I don't know why, but it takes up way less memory this way. About 9 mb's of memory for each additional window, instead of 25 mb+ for additional windows opened using shortcuts or quick launch. I've only got 512 meg of ram, so using just over 100 meg of ram instead of 250/300 for browsing is pretty handy!

Just wish i had known this before!
