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).
