I have all the applications closed in my Mac and still 546 MB of memory are used. Does anyone know how to clean up the memory with other than the Activity Monitor?
If you can still open apps, and there's no performace drop, I'd say it's fine. The OS could just be tying it up somewhere. If it's not hurting the way the computer performs, i wouldn't worry.
I have 1GB of memory and sometimes the computer slows down and the lovely beach ball comes out. I don't understand why, sometimes having no applications open, it only has 100 or 200 MB of free memory.

That's a fascinating article. I just ordered another 1Gb memory today after reading it. Looks like the Window Server is hungry so I'm feeding it more chips ;-)
