Try to run `free' to get a more detailed break up (or even cat

Running free -g on my system returns 3. I have 4.
Running cat /proc/meminfo returns 4030668KB, which is 3.84GB according
to onlineconversion, closer. Does RAM also have a sort of FAT?
It seems as though free won't

It isn't that RAM has a FAT - those things only are present on
filesystems. It is more likely that free's interpretation doesn't
include kernel memory. Also, 4gb may be 4*1024*1024 not 4*1000*1000,
although that is more likely to be a concern with

No. CPU utilization has nothing directly to do with swap usage.
If a 100% CPU usage causes your computer to *over*heat (which is

Hi,
I've got a couple of questions regarding hd partitions and swap space.
My first, immediate problem is that I've just upgraded my RAM from 1.5GB
to 3GB. I'm running some numerical simulations and analysis that require
that much space or more. My swap partition is 1.95GB, and I've
