Note book is Compaq Presario V3000. SuSE 10.1 is what I am using. Sorry
for forgetting mentioning this in first post. I understand Linux always
try to keep memory fully used by cache technology. In my case cache is
only used a little (64MB)

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/www/htdocs> free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           436        425         11          0         15         64
-/+ buffers/cache:        344         91
Swap:         1027        400        626

(at the time I get this 'free' result, the only application I have started is 
yast)

Below result is when yast has quit:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/www/htdocs> free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           436        259        176          0          7         39
-/+ buffers/cache:        213        223
Swap:         1027        236        791

this is right after computer booted (gdm configured auto login, so this
is when gnome desktop started)

esmeralda:/srv/www/htdocs # free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           436        431          5          0         16        159
-/+ buffers/cache:        254        181
Swap:         1027         72        955

By system start, in all 436MB physical memory (why not 512?) already 64%
occupied. When I start openoffice probably swap has to be activated.

Or should I add more memory? What's the amount of memory recommendation
for running SuSE 10.1 x86_64?
