So, to make a long story short, I really just wanted to know if the resources used by the free solutions were similar to what the big boys are.

A lot of the free products, like Avast and Dr Web do not allow use in settings you are describing, but there are some that do. I think MS Security Essentials is one of these.
I use Security Essentials at home, and I just tested a full scan amd it seems to take about 200 Megs of RAM, even though it came up as an Internet Explorer process (iexplore.exe). I am actually not very happy with those numbers, especially on my wife's machine which only has a Gig of RAM. Passively it takes up 2 mb

Is that while scanning? or while in passive mode?
