is this a *nix box? if yes, *nix will properly use memory to the fullest... it 
is quite normal to see a *nix box using 98% RAM... winwhatever boxen, on the 
other hand, have been much different over the years... using all available 
memory is not a bad thing... it is, in fact, a very good thing... as long as it 
doesn't keep growing beyond what is truly needed ;)
