Check memory stats

[Jonathan Reeder]

Thanks a bunch for the reply.  The one thing that I wish top had is a total
memory listing, and unless I'm just missing it, I don't think it has one.  I
know I can always check dmesg for the total amount of ram in a machine, but
I was hoping for a quicker way to see the total memory in a box.

Again, thanks for the reply.
