My ram fluctuates in total, my guess would be that 512mb is the total, and what we see on our cell phones is the total minus what is used by the OS, at the moment my total is 410mb your looking at cached processes that fluctuate with the cell phones use, do you understand? B.T.W your link doesn't work fella, sorry.

Actually 512 MB RAM is available as hardware.

~100 MB RAM is dedicated to BIOS/Kernel.

~150-200 MB is used by Android System and Services like telephony, audio effects, network etc.

So only ~260 MB RAM is available to user.
