Out of curiosity, how did you upgrade to 512MB?  Replace a 256MB stick 
with a 512MB stick (in which case it may have been memory gone bad) or 
just add another 256MB stick?  My machine (combined 
frontend/backend)--which has 512MB--is using less than 256MB RAM (and no 
swap space), so I was just wondering...
