That is rather surprising. I know linux likes to use as lots of ram when it's
available and the more available, the more it will frequently use. I have one
box with 128m and another that I just bought w/256m. Both frequently show
using much more than 64m, but almost never use any swap. Are your running
xfce? Or some other small wm? I've really gotten to like Blackbox. Very
small footprint and quite fast and functional.
