OK.
Now you can look at your system components.

> Mem:    500128k total,   484136k used,    15992k free,     2676k buffers
> Swap:  1015800k total,   292412k used,   723388k free,    93068k cached

Your RAM seems to be OK (sure, the more you can install the better, but Linux
will try to use it all, so do not misinterpret it if Mem used is close to Mem
total at all times - that is actually a good sign of Mem utilization).

Now you should test the GNOME and Xorg by themselves to see if any problems
exist.
Stop that Java bloat application (kill Java if needed) and any others VIRT
memory hogs; and CPU hogs as well.
Verify Xorg workings (do you see any errors/warnings ?):
$ less /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Any funny settings on kernel boot line ?
# cat /etc/grub.conf

If all semms to be normal, and I would expect your GNOME fully functional even
with your RAM, you can add the other apps (hogging Mem, perhaps causing swap
activities) one by one to see the effects.


Next, your system.

Update your BIOS.

After boot, verify if any errors/warnings exist:
$ dmesg

After that run your system with default BIOS settings for a while to see
system performance before you do any manual adjustments (if needed at all).
