I've seen a lot of "top" output thrown around on this topic and a bunch

I'm sitting right now in front of my 1gig machine. I have my normal set
of apps open: firefox, thunderbird, konsole, etc. How can I tell if I
would benefit from additional RAM? What command and what output do I
need to pay attention to?
If you're using any swap at all, you would benefit from additional RAM.
top or free could tell you about swap usage.
If you hit swap only occasionally, I wouldn't worry about it. If a lot,
then more memory should help.
