htop is much better than top. For instance top will only show you the load averages, but htop will show you the current load per core.
 
Sorry for making a thread. I had come across the top command but just ignored.
When using top I got like below. Can any one explain what is it?
Code: 
Cpu(s):  1.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 92.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  10.2st
when using htop I got command not found error :(
 
Use "top" without the quotes, whenever you have multiple core systems press "1" inside top to show all cores.
Afterward hit shift + w to save your top configuration, also might be intresting to know when you hit "s" you can change the refresh interval.

And for checking ram just use "free" command without the quotes.
 
+1 for htop its the best system monitor imo

Code: 
1.0%us,  0.0%sy,  0.0%ni, 92.0%id,  0.0%wa,  0.0%hi,  0.0%si,  10.2st
From this info is it possible to identify usage of cpu and maximum capacity ?

Edit:
Okey, htop is giving pretty good result.

You should be seeing more info below that line showing what processes are using the most CPU. In any case, your CPU is currently 92% idle so if you're looking at CPU capacity alone you can grow 10 times before maxing out the CPU.
