Currently in my system, 'top' as well as 'free' commands show 1.5GB real memory usage, whereas 'KDE System Monitor' shows only 0.5GB usage. !!
I am confused as to which one should be relied upon for the real memory usage.
Could you please tell me which one can I rely upon for the memory usage?
All these years, I have been using 'top' & 'free' in the server machines and thats why I thought 'System Monitor' is showing wrong values.
I still feel that the usage values should be consistent across different tools/utilities.
Thanks Harald for the update.
