44% of memory used. Is it normal?

[abcde]

I checked my server status today and found out that we used up to over 44% of memory

I wanna know if it is normal or should i update and get a better server?

another alternative is to cut back on memory-hogging programs.

The pic says your server load is 1.30 -- seems like your server is adequate for your current needs.

I think it's fine. I run several dedicated servers and 44% is not too bad at all. Of course the issue is spikes in the load. If you're running forums you'll see above average memory usage, and the main culprit is usually mysql queries.

In case you ever do need to upgrade, if you're satisfied with the general speed of the site have a look at the cost of increasing just the ram vs a whole new server.

That is not more 50% and that is ok

44% is absolutely nothing to be concerned about. Was this even a consistent amount or a spike?
