Yes, it does take a more resources. Every program I have ever had took more resources with every new version. The biggest problem is with the video starving for memory especially on systems with shared memory for video. There are only 2 ways I know to remedy this.
1. upgrade to a better video card with more dedicated video memory
2. trim down your system to maximize what you have.
You say you are running only microsoft services. Which ones? Do you really need remote desktop, IM, internet printing, etc. etc.?
I would send you to an excellent website for this exact issue.

Take the time to read about all the services that are running and the price you pay for each. With this knowledge, you will be able to better decide what you need and don't need.
