Command for RAM
folks, hows everyone?

just upgraded my laptop running on solaris 10 by adding some extra RAM. I did notice some improvement (increase in speed) but could not be certain the new RAM has been accepted and all is well (was concerned a bit as i almost broke it while installing :-)) and didnt get any indication of 'new hardware found' kind of thing i usually get on windows.

How can i check how much RAM do i have on my laptop?. This way i can figure out...

Thanks a lot,
-a

Code:
$ prtconf | grep 'Memory size:'
Memory size: 16376 Megabytes
$ /usr/platform/`uname -i`/sbin/prtdiag | grep 'Memory size:'
Memory size: 16376 Megabytes

Cheers
