The way Linux manages memory is a little different to other operating 
sytems, especially Windows. These links have a lot of information about 
it:

Memory usage reported in top can be very misleading. As long as you're not 
swapping out excessively, having a lot of memory in use is not a bad 
thing, especially if everything is still responsive and doen't seem slow
