Or use M to sort by memory usage. =)

You're not running any java stuff are you? I've seen instances where
garbage collector won't let go of allocated memory and just keeps eating
it until it's all gone. Particularly with tomcat. 

On top of that, it's not like 512MB is a whole lot of system memory
anymore. What are you trying to do with this system?
