I agree with your conclusions; and certainly don't worry that our linux server is at 98 percent memory usage. If I installed another 512 MB, it would still go to 98 percent because linux likes to use the available memory Smilie What's the point of having memory if the OS does not use it? ( or at least that is what I keep saying after loading my XP box to 1.5 GB and never using more than 400 - 500 MB, and being CPU bound most of the time in application resource time...)

If you are not seeing much swap activity, you are OK. If you are swapping (using the disks to supplement memory) then add more memory if you can.
