Oh, pardon my ignorance I thought you'd want free to be run at the point 
where the machine freezes, which is rather hard to do, since it's frozen 
which is why I sshed in and used top to get the memory usage as close to 
the freeze... anyway, here is the output of free (while machine is 
running):-

]$ free
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:       2061304     747264    1314040          0      20124     285852
-/+ buffers/cache:     441288    1620016
Swap:      2031608          0    2031608

which is pretty much the info from top, no? :-) :-
Mem:   2061304k total,  2042936k used,    18368k free,    44764k buffers
