thing really in common system-wise is the hardware, and I somewhat

I have had major problems with the NVidia proprietary drivers, particularly
with Ubuntu 9.04. It seems like NVidia introduced a ton of REALLY bad bugs
when they had to almost rewrite the drivers for the changes in the new XOrg
server.
I haven't seen the memory behavior you describe, but have yo
True enough it is tied to caching, but the fact it's marked as inactive
when I can definitely attribute application termination from lack of
memory is what I note as a problem. The system does not give this back
in the way of virtual or physical memory. The system does however
behave well enough
i know all nvidia cards have a "turbo Cache" option to swipe some
system memory for graphics rendering it may be that the driver is
grabbing this and not releaseing it back.. this may be the killer.
how to resolve. i am not sure.

Nvidia liked it so much they started just making it a default
technology. in the 7xxx series (they had specific turbocache cards in
the 6xxx if anyone wants to see on i can bring it to a meeting or take
pictures so you may all view the freakshow)

The problem may not be with the nVidia card, but with the Ubuntu
kernel itself. Debian and Debian-derived di
So I've been digging into learning more about the virtual memory
