For comparison:

Two machines:

a 1Gib 32-bit athlon:

hendrik@lovesong:~$ free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     
cached
Mem:           885        398        486          0         10        
251
-/+ buffers/cache:        135        749

a 2Gib AMD64:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers     
cached
Mem:          1949       1934         15          0        285

Swap:          956        428        528


And a 48Mib 100MHz Pentium, a net gateway, running sarge and nothing X:

             total       used       free     shared    buffers

Mem:            45         44          1          0          3
