Do you mean that Asterisk is using up all of your memory
or that all of your memory is i use?

If the former, that's odd.  But you should expect the later.
Linux is designed such that it will always try to put almost
all of your memory to good use.  It will use "extra" RAM as
a disk cache.  So if you were to cut the amount of RAM in
your system in half you'd have only slightly less free RAM
as Linux would use a smaller disk cache

Now if you say the Asterisk process in the idle state is
450MB then something is wrong
