Does WinXP eat memory?

[lexi]

I was trying to play a game at pogo.com and kept getting those not enough memory errors. I never had this problem with Win98.

In the System Information section this is what it has as far as my memory goes:
Total Physical Memory: 224.00 MB
Total Available Physical Memory: 120.04 MB

Total Virtual Memory: 751.30 MB
Total Available Virtural Memory: 574.21 MB
Page File Space: 531.75 MB

Does anyone know why or what I could check to find out why so much of the memory is not available? Or if there are any sites out there that can help?
I checked the link here for Editorals and features and found one article about memory but it suggests making changes in autobat sys and config.sys files. I am not even sure where those files are let alone secure enough about deleting them.

I'm getting these number without even going to the pogo game site...if I were playing those games the numbers would be even lower.
Also, I don't have alot of programs open or running right now with those number. I have the internet and the IE browser of course, and also my pagoo answering machine program running.

Any help would be appreciated
