Allocate Memory to Certain Process?

Hello guys!

Here is my output for

Code:

---

jun@jun:~$ free
            total      used      free    shared    buffers    cached
Mem:      2961916    1472280    1489636          0    122132    921636
-/+ buffers/cache:    428512    2533404
Swap:      3197948          0    3197948
jun@jun:~$

May I please ask if it's possible to tweak my system to make use of the "free-1472280" to a certain process? And how can I do it please if ever.

Thanks!

If the Linux kernel needs memory for a process, don't worry, it'll take it - or crash your system if none is left. but there probably is plenty.
