Check the output of free -m and look at the free and cached section.
Memory management in the Linux kernel is much different than you may
expect. Is that memory resident, shared or virtual? Is it what Asterisk
has requested, or is it what Asterisk is actually using?

My copy of Asterisk running on a 2.6.8-2-386 kernel has requested 7 megs
of resident memory and 14 megs of virtual. The big hit for AMP is always
going to be MySQL. Right now it's asking for 14 megs resident and 113
megs virtual. Read here for more details on Linux memory management
details:

So I stand by my statement that 96 megs is more than enough for a
functional AMP system. The worst that'll happen is it might have to swap
something out.
