I have just upgraded my RH9 box to 1Gb DDR.. I thought, rather presumptuously that this might give me a little more space to play with memory wise.. but after looking through 'top' I get the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------- 108 processes: 107 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: 4.4% user 2.0% system 0.0% nice 0.0% iowait 93.6% idle Mem: 1030908k av, 1021332k used, 9576k free, 0k shrd, 37020k buff 801620k actv, 27560k in_d, 21440k in_c Swap: 1020116k av, 14660k used, 1005456k free 804884k cached -------------------------------------------------------------------------
This doesn't make much sense to me.. as there is absolutely nothing showing anywhere else in top that explains why '1021332k used' should be appropriate..
I downloaded a Gnome prog that uses the gtop lib and got pretty much the same results.. so I am stumped..
can someone explain to me why putting double the amount of ram in a machine causes RH to chew it all up and not tell you why? (joking: I know it's probably not doing that and I am just missing a point somewhere)
thanks for any info
Craig
