I need to find out how much physical memory I have on my machine. I know that you can run "dmesg" to find out, however, my dmesg is full of stuff like this: swap space swap_pager: out of swap space swap_pager: out of swap space swap_pager: out of swap space swap_pager: out of swap space swap_pager: out of swap space Now, I know these errors are bad that is why I need to find out how much physical memory is on the box so I can pgrade. I'm a linux user as well and under Linux to find out the physical memory you just do "cat /proc/meminfo" or "meminfo " (for X version). Not sure that if I reboot the box will clear out the old dmesg, however, I do not want to do this if I relly don't have to.
