phyical memory running high

After startup and logged in to the KDE desktop (version 3.2.2), the free physical memory used to have 60% available (about 250,000KB). However, after browsing and some konsole works (it usually takes about 2~3 hours) , the physical memory would only have 3~40,000KB free at the KDE system guard (even if i have closed all applications, it still stays high). I wonder if there is something should be done to free the physical memory. Thanks for all~

RE: phyical memory running high

No, there's really no need to worry. The amount of free memory shown by several tools is misleading (but unfortunately wrong interpreted by many people).

Read the following page in order to know what is going on:
