Well be grateful Us on the Mytouch 1.0 have RAM much lower, I was lucky to get 48 Mb one time, and that was with no apps running. But usually for me its in the 20s and 30s. But anyway, those numbers are just the RAM (Random Access Memory) numbers of your phone, and yes, the more you have, then the faster a particular app that is open will run. But when you have more apps open, that means less memory, so a particular app, perhaps your swype keyboard, will be slower. So in order to optimize your memory, close unused apps. I like to use TasKiller and in that apps with yellow font are in use and taking up memory for sure. White font means its using the memory space but not really causing your phone to be much slower. And gray font means they are in the background, and are idle, so they aren't any strain on the RAM. Just keep those numbers high and keep less apps open and your phone will be smoother.
