> they take me 517MB of ram
I was amazed me too when I installed suse sometimes ago on a pc with 512MB of ram.
(the same suse run on my notebook with 128mb of ram).
I think the kernel, maybe the suse's, reserves all the memory, except a small piece, for itself.
Then when an application requests some memory a ``swap memory page" is invoked and if there's enough memory it will use it otherwise it will do a swap.
I'm not a tech and I could have said a big false statement...
