someone can help me with that?

dunno about the updater,but, as for memory, don't worry, that is pretty normal. linux uses as much physical ram as it can then uses swap. i have 1gb ram as well, but when it comes to using stuff, it just disappears like water down a drain even with no apps running, linux will store stuff in disk cache to make sure things run smoothly

So this is the problem in my computer it is not like that..
I mean when im starting a proglam like Instant messenger or amarok or some programs like firefox my memory goes up to 900 mb full! and I think this is one of the problem why my computer dont work like it has to work, I mean in windows I can play GTA san andreas with no problem i have video card ati radeon X1300 but when im trying to play a game in linux like xMoto in some times it going slow! ( i have my video card driver installed properly)

either zen or rpm db is screwed up. You can rebuild rpm db and see if this helps

ad2) 700MB after start is a lot. Clean OS (turn off unnecessary services at least). It is true that linux is using memory different way than windows (more efficiently). This means that you dont have much of free memory. Free memory is a waste. Linux tries to keep everything in RAM. In consequence more RAM you add more RAM will be used. This is very good idea as this should speed up system and improve OS responsiveness.

However amount of RAM used after boot should be lower. At this point after boot suse should use no more than 130MB (or less) after boot to KDE or 150MB (or less) after boot to Gnome and around 100MB (or less) with smaller WM.

looks like the ZMD database is corrupted, you can rebuild it after removing it. Open a console and login as root, then do this

cd /var/lib/zmd
rm -f zmd.db package-history.db
rczmd restart

as to your RAM issue, like DF and broch said, Linux uses as much RAM as possible to speed things up. Windows, even if you don't have any programs open, always swaps to disk. Linux' memory management is far more sophisticated than Windows'. Nothing to worry about
