    * High Memory Usage

    Whenever I check my server's memory usage I see that is over 90%
    The server does not seem to lag at all which is a good thing. I just don't know if the memory usage being that high is a bad thing.
    Heres the picture of it: http://img366.imageshack.us/img366/9...ryusageec5.jpg

    Is there something I should do to lower the usage?

    There can be too many causes for high CPU usage. Not to mention, little advice can be given without actually seeing more input and what not from the server. I would take a look if I had access. Please update me on the situation - here is the post: http://webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=564696

    Thank you, looking forward to getting this wrapped up.

    You will need to dig into the server to find what is eating up your memory.
    From the server, you can use free -m to find the memory used, memory available, swap detailes etc.
    And if there is a high memory usage try to find more using top
    top -c will give teh processes with cpu usage and <shift m> will make it in the memory usage. that will help you to see what process is eating up much memory.
    To the exact picture, you will need a service of an admin.

    Look @ the cached memory, this is normail for a *NIX machine. I'm guessing you have apache running on this. Each apache proc. takes up about 2MB+ of memory.
