what is your CPU, RAM, Motherboard and OS? 992mb RAM sounds like you have
1gb which shows up as 1024 but you have onboard graphics that is using 32mb
of system RAM.

For comparison Im running WInXP Pro and currently I have 20 background
processes running and 150mb memory used but I run my PC lean. 30 processes
isnt excessive but it really depends on what those processes are of course.

what program are you using to monitor temperatures? motherboard monitor is
good.
CPU temps should be in the 40s ideally - 50s is liveable but around 60c
start to worry.
