The main question is in the title. Maybe there is magic that can do nice things with free memory (I use mostly rails, chromium, vim, autotests = 2gb).

I’ve also been proud here for more than a year that I have 8 gig ...
And then I noticed that “Damn, how can it be that when FF and Minecraft are running, the computer starts to lag like a “kopeck piece” ?!”
It turned out that he sees 8 gig - he sees, but to use more than two - alas!
I had to install 64-bit Ubuntu - somehow the questions "Where to put the memory" disappeared - the system itself understands where these expanses can be burrowed! ..

Do nothing, linux will cache itself into memory.

As an option: Place the OS in RAM.

It may be trite, but ramdisk - mount -t tmpfs -o size=xxxM tmpfs /mnt/tmpfs/
you can put mysql databases on it, for example ...

My free space is occupied by FS caches.
