Run 'free'.
Read the disk a lot. It should all go into buffers, I think.
Run 'free' again.
Or use one of the memory-heavy applications (Netscape Navigator
after few hours would do). Or just leak memory with a looping
perl app e.g.:
perl -e 'for (1..10000000) { push @x, 1; }; <>;'
(Be careful with the number of loops, leaking all RAM can make
your machine very irresponsive :)
