Here is a useful tip: your computer should never have memory free,
really. There's no problem with having all of that 512MB used up all
the time. Memory is very fast; if memory is going unused, then the
machine is doing something wrong, and there is no reason why any
program running shouldn't grab all the free memory for itself so it can
run faster. What is more of a problem is if lots of swap is being used,
because swap is on disc and therefore slower. But if you see most of
your memory being taken up by programs, it means your machine is
running efficiently; it's not something to worry about.
