pay attention to what the memory is being used for.
take this for example:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/local/games/quake2] free
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 253224 250956 2268 79044 72144 77588
-/+ buffers/cache: 101224 152000
Swap: 267108 268 266840
there are over 100megs in buffers there ..i only have 2megs free..but its
not a big deal. don't worry about it, unless your close to running o ut
of swap. that is a good sign you don't have enough memory.
