As you can see the machine has 1Gig of RAM but is only addressing 64Meg - in desperation the kernel has started to use SWAP.

Errr shall I go and fix it ? Errrrr I think not LOL it can just limp along until I get the time to go down there.

I would be fe**ed if this happened whilst running windows
Windows would cope (and has done in my experience), although it would be painful to watch.

Actually, I'd check what's using all your memory (real and virtual). I've helped run busy webservers for work, and never seen that kind of usage.
