finding ram stats in linux

[Sting3R]

I am trying to figure out where or what command to use to find the total amount of RAM in my system....I just loaded a new stick and want to make sure we are burning along......the amount is not listed in cmos and the boot screen cruises so quick I cant see it....

thanks

"top" will give you a full readout of used/unused ram and pagefile, what processes are running and how much system resources are being used for each..

Or, the boot messages using dmesg
