Anybody know a command that clears your memory cache?
Because after i watch a movie the memory is full with cache!

Well, "shutdown -r now" will do it.

Hi,

if you do "sync" it will flush all buffers...

Otherwise closing the application you are using will do the trick, for example netscape eats alot of memory if you never close it down...

What's wrong with having your cache full? It does that for a reason. It's not going to slow down other programs. Maybe you should read up on how memory caching works.
