Hi,
Just be aware that used RAM by programs and used RAM by caching are two
separate things (programs take priority). Unfortunately top includes
this caching which makes it look like RAM is all gone when it isn't.
For example if I run top right now I get this (converted to GB for sanity):
KiB Mem: 8GB total, 6.9GB used, 1.1GB free, 0.7GB buffers
But if I run free -m (to get the output in MB):
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 7878 6731 1146 811 663 1869
-/+ buffers/cache: 4198 3679
As you can see in buffers/cache I'm using over 4GB of RAM but if you
look at the free bit I actually have over 3.5GB completely free to use
by whatever program.
I may be misremembering part of this but the important bit is free under
cache. Check out: http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ for more info.

Ok, the "top scores" for using my 16GB RAM are:
caed 10%
rdairplay 4%
ripcd 3.7%
xorg 1.3%
mysql 1%
and the rest is below 1%
Is this unusual? Top says that most of my RAM is used, but I think
there's a long way up to 100% when I look through the processes
Thank you again

Hi,
Sounds like something might have a memory leak. You might want to see
which task / process is using up memory on your system.
The easiest way to see this in Top, if you hit M (that's a capital M)
it'll sort by memory usage.
It might give you an indication if the difficulty is something related
to Rivendell or something else running on your system.
