I see this memory summary in `top`:

Mem: 431M Active, 1231M Inact, 277M Wired, 61M Cache, 199M Buf, 12M Free


Does the 1231M Inact mean that I can basically fill up another 1.2gigs of
memory with programs, etc., before I start running out of memory ?

Also, should I be concerned that I only have 12M "Free", or is the fact
that so much (1231M) is inactive mean that I am not running out for a long
time ?

thanks,

PT
