Spinning Beach Ball

Hi guys, I am new to Apple MacBook user. So, I have a question here.
I just got my MacBook Pro for few days, I get quite a few times of Spinning Beach Ball. As I know Spinning Beach Ball a.k.a Spinning Beach Ball of Death.
So is there any problem with my MacBook? For your info, I installed Windows 7 via BootCamp.

You may not have enough ram did you pull up the activity monitor and look at your page
ins and outs.

When I open up my activity monitor, it shows that about 1GB+ of RAM are actually on idle. So, I believe that I have enough of RAM.

You did not mention what version of Windows you are using 64bit requires 4gb of ram and
32bit requires 2gb of ram so how much do you have?

I installed 64-bit Windows 7, and I have 4GB of RAM. But I did not run Windows whenever I see the Spinning Beach Ball.

Do you have some third party software also have you run repair disk permissions and last
do you shut it down nightly or let it sleep so it can do maintenance scripts? One last thing
if you run an AV it has and can cause this.

I did not install any third party software. So far, I did not run repair disk permissions yet. I'll shut my macbook shutdown at night. And what is AV stands for?

Anti Virus and let it sleep instead of shut down so it can perform maintenance
or download Maintidigit in widgets and run scripts manually.

Beause I will switch on my mac for everyday, so will the maintenance run whenever I switch on my Mac? I shut my mac down is just because I wan it to get full cool down.

I stand corrected since Leopard it will run at start up if it missed the old 3 am mode. Have you run disk permissions yet that will solve sluggish or slow app
start up sometimes?
