How to know how much ram linux programs are using?

I was going to buy a new laptop but that seems daft considering I don't have enough money to buy a good laptop and my old laptop works perfectly (despite being 6 years old). My HP Compaq nx6325 has 1gb of ram. For a small amount I can upgrade to 2gb but I want to know how much ram certain programs use whilst being run to see if it's worth it buying. I'd like to use screen recorder app (that i got from ubunto center) but that seems very laggy and I'm not 100% sure if it's due to the lack of video ram (only 128mb) or the fact that the programs been used along side screen recorder are taking to big a bite out of my 1gb ram.

How much RAM does Red Hat Linux 9 support? I am using it to support vmservers and wants to run a few of them at the same time. So, on Red hat Linux 9, I can setup 3 virtual machines and each takes 2 GB memory, which leaves the Linux 2GB on a 8GB, 32 bits machine, right?

How much RAM will I have if I install 32bit instead of 64bit

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: October 15, 2010
Hello Right now I have 64-bit version of Ubuntu, but there are some applications I often use that refuse to work on 64-bit architecture. Also my system is old and I got some trash around, so my best idea to cope with these 2 problems is install all from scratch. I have 4GB RAM. How much RAM will I lose after installing the newest Ubuntu/Kubuntu 32-bit version, if any? I searched for answer a lot. I found numerous threads about it, but all of them contained answers like "it depends", "if", "maybe", or just explanations hard enough for me to get lost fast (I'm a user, I don't know how things work, I need them to work). If I have to provide you some info about my hardware configuration, I gladly will. Just let me know what you need to give me an exact answer (if this is at all possible). I'll be very grateful. I need every bit of my RAM, I abuse it. Thank you in advance.

How Much RAM can Ubuntu support?

One of the things that greatly bothered me with Vista was the fact that I couldn't use my computer's hardware to it's fullest in terms of RAM. It would cap out at ~3.5GB, rather than using the full 4GB. Will Ubuntu recognize the full 4GB and make use of it?

How much RAM do I need? Does it matter?

location: ubuntuforums.com - date: January 26, 2009
I checked my system stats this weekend because I was bored, and found that it was using 890 MB out of the 1GB that is in the system. And it wasn't recording or playing any video at the time. I will need to check it again since I rebooted it since then to see if that made any difference. But my linux laptop only uses 250MB out of 1.25GB until I start up Firefox. Will I see any video performance improvements if I get 2GB of RAM? Are other people using a similar amount, or is it only after running for a few weeks straight that it gets up that high?
