top command output in "human readable"
 
Okay this is a dumb question...

The top command by default displays in "k" ...how can I make it display in "M"?

-C

Unfortunately not possible, but you can use free -m

"human readable" top
 
The man is a bit obscure but I think top -M will do what you're looking for.

Quick research: -M avail on RHEL6.x, NOT on RHEL 5.x (at least on one of each here ...)

I know this is an old thread, but duckduckgo brought me here.

The following commands here are case sensitive..

Debian Jessie, while in top:

toggle memory with m
toggle memory amount conversions with E (thats shift+e)
