[vox-tech] Checking amount of memory

[Jay Strauss]

I just installed a bunch of memory in my machine (512Mb).  How do I check if
linux is "seeing" it all?

I looked at dmesg but all I see is:

Memory: 64036k/66556k available (1060k kernel code, 420k reserved, 976k
data, 64k init, 0k bigmem)

When I do top:

  7:52am  up  2:40,  2 users,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00
45 processes: 44 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped
CPU states:  0.1% user,  0.7% system,  0.0% nice, 99.0% idle
Mem:    64100K av,   40552K used,   23548K free,   45312K shrd,    3320K
buff
Swap:  265032K av,       0K used,  265032K free                   22140K
cached
