Try using u386mon.  I have it in it's own xterm window all the time.
It shows you the max and free memory and swap along with a host of other
kernel stuff.

I got it from ftp.celestial.com://pub/sco-ports/unix/u386mon.tar.gz
This is version 2.6 but I beleive that it's up to 3.4ish now.

: Any help would be appreciated!
