How-to: Check CPU/RAM info on VPS/Dedi

[Storming]

Hi,
Well I noticed alot of people tend to lie about there CPU etc espcialy on VPS servers so heres a quick and easy way to check the processor information if you are not 100% sure

Login to SSH:
Then type:

cat /proc/cpuinfo

It should display information like this:

processor : 1
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 23
model name : Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E6500 @ 2.93GHz
stepping : 10
cpu MHz : 2925.935
cache size : 2048 KB
physical id : 0
siblings : 2
core id : 1
cpu cores : 2
apicid : 1
initial apicid : 1
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 13
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe syscall lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts rep_good aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl vmx est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm xsave lahf_lm tpr_shadow vnmi flexpriority
bogomips : 5852.23
clflush size : 64
cache_alignment : 64
address sizes : 36 bits physical, 48 bits virtual
power management:

Now for checking ram information:
Type:

cat /proc/meminfo

It will display information about the RAM you have on your VPS/Dedi

Hope it helps.

thanks for info,
i will add another useful thing :

To check free ram :
just type free -m

To check your server memory resources for every one secconds::
watch -n 1 -d free -m

For CPU usages ::
watch -n 1 mpstat -P ALL

For Process usages ::
ps -eo pid,%cpu,vsz,args,wchan

And for the total network stats
netstat -a -n|grep -E "^(tcp)"| cut -c 68-|sort|uniq -c|sort -n

(edited)
VV yeah top command is very usefull (thanks xslTel)
