Nope, just in games that access the 3D. 2D stuff isn't affected.

How is removing RAM going to provide an effective test on high load slowing down of the PC?

Sherlock Holmes style of computer trouble shooting.
Also, you can still load a computer without several gigs of ram and see if it gives consistent frame rates. Run it with two sticks, then the other two, then mix two. Two gigs should be plenty of ram to do whatever game and see if it still slows down. One gig should be enough (in XP) provided he doesnt have word documents and webpages open at the same time.

When I play a game, I always restart the computer and make sure I have as little running as possible.

Your USB devices may be eating too much power. And or one of them is faulty.
The USB onboard controller may also be faulty.
Try different USB ports as well.
Try updating and reloading the latest drivers for all hardware.
Ginsu Victim:
All drivers are up to date. I've tried playing with no USB devices attached and used PS/2 keyboard and mouse instead.
I'm starting to think it is not input related. I think it just took a few moments before the problem showed up. (in the Ghostbusters instance)
