Linux AS 3 server memory -whodunit

Hi All,

We have a Linux AS server with 4 GB of RAM and problems (
At any point of time my Free -m  Gives total of 4000 mb and used of  3900
and free 10 mb  but my buffers/cache used is hardly 1000 mb and 3000 mb free

 Whereas

  the top always gives

 mem used 4000 mb avg and used 3972

 Going by bufffers/cache i shudnt be having memory issues BUT our server is
monitored and keeps throwing above 80% memory utilisation all the time


 why is there a discrepancy between TOP and FREE and which shud be used
more definitely for memory analysis

 and why do we get over 80% used all the time when buffers/cache is low all
times

ANy pointers appreciated
