If you're getting crashes, first I would suspect bad ram. Also, the "inactive" memory thing is normal. It is what's "supposed" to happen. That just means that the ram marked inactive hasn't been marked "free" yet, but isn't currently being used by any programs. That memory can still be used for other programs, and some memory monitors for my windowmanager even consider "inactive" as being unused.
