I have 128 MB of internal memory. During bootup I have memory checking
and I see all 128 MB being checked. Nevertheless, the free command
says:

/root>free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:         64208      62508       1700      33868       4256      42940
-/+ buffers/cache:      15312      48896
Swap:            0          0          0
/root>

- Is there something wrong in my setup? 
- Is it normal to use so much memory (61 MB) while X is running with
  2 xterms and 1 emacs?
- I copied the top of top's display below, sorted on memory usage,
  does it give any clues?
