Conflicting Stats

Post by cessanfrancisco »

Hi,

When I run "free -h" from the terminal I get a reading that says I am using 7.2 GB of RAM.

When I check the System Monitor it tells me I'm using only 1.2 GB.

Does anyone have a guess as to why this conflict of output data would happen? Which one is accurate?

Thanks in advance.

PS: I'm using Linux Mint 15 KDE - Toshiba Satellite C650D-ST5N01, AMD E-450, 8GB RAM
