Memory

[Matthew Daubenspeck <matt@oddprocess.org>]

I have been having some problems with my system eating up memory
lately. I ran top to check the memory status..

CPU states:   1.2% user,   1.0% system,   0.0% nice,  97.8% idle
Mem:    516504K total,   485396K used,    31108K free,   235912K
buffers

Is that accurate?

I then checked meminfo...

 cat meminfo
         total:    used:    free:  shared: buffers:  cached:
	 Mem:  528900096 498696192 30203904 69750784 241573888
	 180416512
	 Swap: 2006958080        0 2006958080
	 MemTotal:    516504 kB
	 MemFree:      29496 kB
	 MemShared:    68116 kB
	 Buffers:     235912 kB
	 Cached:      176188 kB
	 SwapTotal:  1959920 kB
	 SwapFree:   1959920 kB

I checked some man pages, but I haven't had much luck figuring it out.
Does anyone have any insight or a direction to point me too?
