Whenever I do a TOP command from SSH, I see that my RAM is more than 90% taken!! Whats wrong with it? I got 1GB of ram installed but its still not enough? Should I add in more ram?

Mine is like that as well but only that my CPU load is really really high...

Actually thats what Linux is supposed to sdo so there is no idling stuff lying around.
If its on low utilization then something is really wrong.

Since the utilization is at 90% have you noticed any degrade in performance?

Ge the free program Freeram, it monitors your memory use

Actually the TOP command consumes a lot of resources by itself (CPU and RAM).
So you'd better use FREE and UPTIME commands.
