'free' will show you the allocation of available memory.
The full count of system memory (and a whole bunch of other
system info) is shown by 'dmesg'. The line you want is
about 5 lines from the top. You can view it by pressing
SHIFT-PAGEUP to scroll up the screen. Or you can use:
------------ ----------------
dmesg | head -or- dmesg | grep Mem
------------ ----------------
