to get a feel of memory usage, top isn't too appropriate, better use 'free'.
it will show three lines: mem, -/+ buffers, and swap. the first one is the
same that top shows: total, used, free, shared, buffers and cached. the last
one is for virtual mem, but the second one (-/+ buffers) is more interesting;
it simply adds the 'freeable' ram (buffers+cached) to the 'free' column, and
substracts it from the 'used' column. so it shows the really committed
memory.
