I had the same problems with linux before, I had only 128 Ram but after
updating to 256 my linux box was pretty fast. Normally with 800Mb ram the
system should very quickly ( responsiveness, loading, applications start-up,
boot... ). You have a problem with the configuration, have a look at the
running processes, there is probably a process ( a program ) that eats a lot
of ram ( there is a gnome program that monitors the performances and running
processes ).
