easier way....log in as root and type the word free to get a much
slimmer version of that information. If the numbers look odd(after
posting them here) then the more expansive option below is needed.

I install centos 5 on a HD while it is in a Compaq with 256Mb memory.
After install, i am in graphics mode (Gnome) and top reports not quite
all 256Mb used.
Then I move the HD to a decTOP with 512Mb memory. I am running
non-graphics (init 3). I ssh into the unit and top reports not quite
all of that used.....
So what ate up more than 256Mb memory (X is not running)?
Perhaps there is something I did not clean up properly wrt the move.
Have you done any I/O on the system? The memory could be in use by
buffers. Please post the contents of /proc/meminfo. Your real free
memory should be the sum of MemFree + Buffers + Cached.
