Take the memory used and subtract the cached memory to get an idea of how much memory is being used. Linux will make use of unused RAM for caching purposes. The paging mechanism is really quite complex and mostly beyond me at this point. What is important is that memory used for cache will be freed for used by your applications as needed. In your example: 1816664 - 1490872 = 325792 So there is only 300 or so MB of RAM being used. > A second question > > I've got 2024 MB RAM > - 128 MB framebuffer > = 1896 MB RAM > > 1896 MB * 1024 = 1941504 KB > > 1941504 KB > - "1911196k total" > = 30308 KB <-- Is this the RAM the kernel uses? > I don't understand the question. Are you asking how much memory the Kernel occupies or are asking something else? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJMGyswRXgH3rKGfMRAog2AJwOzdZ8BaGDVgKnpyUK1ah1NF9D6ACeO6Kq OJwAHzMLk4y6tdpzzV1s6GQ= =CQnh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ 64studio-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.64studio.com/mailman/listinfo/64studio-users
