Quentin already answered. You have plenty of RAM.
I'd like to recommend gkrellm as the *best* way to understand a Linux
system's workload. It continuously plots the last 60 seconds'
utilization of CPU (per-CPU and/or aggregate), disk (per-disk,
per-RAID, per-filesystem and/or aggregate), network I/O, run queue
length, memory used (with and without buffer cache) swap space used,
and swap I/O rate.
It has a client-server mode where you run gkrellmd on your server
and gkrellm on your X11 display.
If you run gkrellm on your systems all the time, you'll learn to
know at a glance exactly what's going on.
