Steven, there are two issues here.  First, when you had 1024MB RAM 
installed you should have been using the Enterprise kernel - built to 
correctly handle ram over around 850MB

Second - linux handles memory very differently from windows, which 
tends to cause panic in newbies - I remember the feeling :-)  In fact 
it uses every scrap of memory available to it as and whenit needs it.  
It is much better than windows though in detecting the need to let go 
of something when it needs to make space.

Although it looks alarming I have never heard of anyone running into 
actual difficulty through memory use, assuming that they had enough 
installed to get a system running :-)
