You can test by typing 'free' in a terminal.

A sample below...

              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       1991384    1275384     716000          0      36440     633288
-/+ buffers/cache:     605656    1385728
Swap:      2361508          0    2361508

note: for most computers with 1GB ram and above, swap use is usually 
zero - except just before adobe flash freezes firefox  :)
