Vista moves all my physical memory to Cached

When Vista starts, the HDD starts to work and I can see my physical memory slowly going from Free to Cached for no apparent reason. Previously it would stop at around 2gb but now "Cached" consumes my entire ram. I have unticked indexing for all folders except the Windows folder which I didn't have sufficient rights on. My startup applications are just monitor and mouse software.

What could be causing this?

This is normal and you want Vista to be doing this. The memory is immediately available to other applications since the memory priority of the cache is lower than normal memory.
