I read all about the memory management and its dangers which is why I got auto killer. it does not kill apps it just tweaks the built in system that kills apps. ie I just increased the minimum memory. HUGE improvement in overall speed.
so if 15mb is for video and I have 81mb left over thats 96mb So android is using 192mb ??

Oy...
Android (and Linux) manage memory differently than WinMo/Windows. Obviously low memory conditions are never good, but the way it manages RAM is much more efficient. My thread just goes over how to tweak these values. You can set them to whatever you want, but if you just want apps to get killed right after you're done with them you're missing the point. If you're just looking at how much free memory you have, you're also missing the point. If things are running well, then that's a good thing. If things are running like crap, then maybe you should worry about how much memory is free. That's when you go tweak those values to see if you can improve anything.
I can't say if any of the apps you're using are good or not. From the sounds of it, you have them set to free up memory when it hits 75mb... so if you have 80 free that sounds like it's doing its job quite well. Linux will try to use any and all free RAM, that's the point that you seem to keep missing.
