Your total memory from free shows 127820. If your running in X mode this
requires quite a bit of memory. Memory is also allocated for buffers and
cache. I would not worry about the print out from this free as it looks
quite normal to me. I ran a news service at one time that if you ran a top
showed 40 % of memory allocated to the news service alone. I was always
dipping into swap but as long as your not dipping to deeply into swap your
memory usage is fine. Why have memoy on board and not have in use? Memory
not in use is "free memory".
