I have 2 questions!
1- There are 2 geforce 580 with 3 GB of memory each installed in my pc. Why only a little portion of my video memory is used in rendering? (see picture attached)
2 - How to get rid of white dots? I guess they are supposed to disappear at that s/px rate.
Thnx in advance.

I think your looking at it wrong.You should be happy that the scene shown is only using a small amount of the cards available memory.The time to panic is when your starting to fill up the cards memory and then have to start reducing the textures and mesh's to accommodate the scene.
The white spots are fireflies.These can be removed by
1) waiting for them to clear in Pathtracing.
2) Running out of patience while using Pathtracing
then using the hot pixel removal slider in the camera settings.This will effectively get rid of any remaining fireflies but will slightly blur the final image.
3) try the PMC kernel in 2.47 beta - this does not produce as many fireflies as Pathtracing mode in 2.46b or 2.47b
hope that helps
