The newer kernels are supposed to use all of the memory, but they are not supposed to use swap unless it is absolutely necessary. Both `free` entries you showed used no swap, so wait until it starts using a lot of swap, and then post `free`, and also post `top` again, but this time type `M` in top to sort by the memory usage. That may show you what is using all of the memory. Once it starts using a lot of swap, try logging out of X Windows, and/or changing to runlevel 3 (text mode).
