Or:
dd if=/dev/mem bs=1024 count=5|hexdump -C > ramfile
This writes 5 blocks of 1024 bytes each to a file

See "learn the dd command" in this subforum---just a few posts down from yours.

That's looking at drives, not memory (RAM)

Try out the free command. If you want it to display output in megabytes use free -m.

OP---where are you???

free tells you the usage of memory
dd if=/dev/mem....etc. gives the contents of memory

What did you want?
