You can't. This is linux. It will use all your free memory for cache and
buffers, thus lowering disk usage (and maintaing your swap low)

The games you're talking about, these games use 3d stuff? It can be very
possible that it's a opengl game and your video board is not using it
(for instance, chromium and tux-racer). Try installing frozen-bubble and
see if it's slow.

Some people already helped you on this.

There's more than 1 way to find it. One is with fedora menu-internet.
Other is adding it to a gnome panel. Click an empty space of the gnome
bar and select "add to panel - internet - terminal server client".
