I don’t know where you see this process list, but you don’t have any of the processes that Windows requires such as taskhost.exe, svchost.exe, taskmgr.exe, and dozens of others. Windows can’t run without them.
You have to have at least one explorer.exe application running. Again, Windows won’t work without it.
Did you go to the task manager and click on “Processes”?

[Bryan Spector] “The only process I am running is Vegas.”
This is impossible. Vegas is not a process, it’s an application. You likely have 50 or more processes running as well as at least two or three applications. One of them is chewing up your memory resources.

I strongly recommend a fresh install. Not an upgrade. In fact, buy a new HDD (you can get a 1Gb disk for around $50 now) Set aside your current boot drive and install Windows 7 from zero. Microsoft endorses a process where you can make a fresh install from an upgrade disk. First, install it as a demo by NOT providing the product key when asked. Then run the install again and this time, provide the key.
You can install the old boot drive as a data disk to gain access to anything stored there.

[Jeff Green] ” Do you have a preference?”
Sorry, I don’t shoot in AVCHD. I avoid AVCHD like I avoid weddings. Everything I do is in HDV.
But, most people seem to be happy with Cineform.

What Quadracopter are you using? I’ve been looking at them for a while here and the T2 is a pretty heavy lift.

Windows 7.
Seriously, Vista is the second worst OS that Microsoft ever released in the wild.

No.
VOB files are for all practical terms, MPEG2 files.
But since a DVD is a single, uninterrupted data stream, you can’t just edit part of it.

[Jeff Green] ” I have been speaking with a friend about this and he suggested that I need my media storage in Raid 0. Utilizing 4 HDD’s in Raid 0 and connected via eSata or Firewire. He believes that is where my bottleneck is coming from.”
If you are editing uncompressed 4K HD. Everything else, a 7200 RPM SATA drive is fast enough.
You don’t say *where* you are experiencing the “bottleneck”, but since you indicate AVCHD, I’ll assume it’s your preview that is less than perfect. Welcome to highly compressed editing.
If yo are only doing simple cuts and dissolves, then an i7 is sufficient. Add any fx and even the mighty i7 Extreme will be challenged. Transcoding is your on;y solution for now.

Event Pan-Crop, move to the first keyframe and set the rotation to 90 or -90 depending on which way you held the camera.

What else is running? You have dozens of processes running at any time. Use the Task Manager and sort on “Commit size” to see what process is eating your memory.
Unfortunately, Task Manager only takes a snapshot every second. A lot can happen between snaps. You’ll be surprised how much your browser reserves for itself.
How big is your paging file? Do you have one on each internal HDD?
Just reaching here, but sometimes you have to go into your BIOS and save the parameters again for the BIOS to recognize new memory. Sounds strange, but it does sometimes work. and it can’t hurt anything to try.
