Whats the normal Memory usage for a server with these specs?

Athlonxp 2400
512 Meg ram

I only server static html pages, with no dynamic content. Currently my mem usage is at 89%!! Is this normal?

Oh I forgot to mention Im using apache web server.

Depends on the load and number of sites running, upgrade memory if you are having issues.

Good luck

Have you tried tuning apache and mysql, this could possibly bring your mem usage back down to a more aceptable level.

Depends, where are you getting the ram usage from? Linux caches ram for later use which makes it appear like its used up all ram.

I'd say sounds like something is def wrong. How many users you got hitting your stuff?

You're not checking your memory usage right, probably. Type 'free' which will disclose how much of the memory in use is just buffered data, which you can safely count as free memory.

Im a noob when it comes to server stuff. How do I tune apache mem usage?

BTW just found this page http://aap.sourceforge.net/ does anyone have any experience with applying these optimized patches for apache? Will it break cpanel?
