Did you check vmstat?
I wouldn't call it the "best" tool to check for memory, but that
and "swapinfo" can give you a decent idea of memory utilization.

If swapinfo shows low swap utilization then you are working
mostly on RAM (good). If you see high utilization then you are
working mostly of swap(slower).
