Use the following command in a shell to find out what the memory configuration is of your Linux machine:
free
which produces something like this:
total used free shared buffers
Mem: 3073224 2969612 103612 0 94308
Swap: 530044 68052 461992
Total: 3603268 3037664 565604
Which says (in this example) that this machine has 3Gb RAM of which 2.97 Gb is being used, and that this machine has a swap file has (virtual memory) o 0.5 Gb ... (of which only 68 Mb is being used).
