Checking Unix Server prestanda?

How can I find out as much as possible about a Server which I know is Unix/Apache.

I wonder if there is a way to see the performance of the server components? Ghz/RAM/Mb/Make etc.

I'm a Unix newbie

What access do you have? What I mean is, are you the sysadmin (presumably not) or just a user of your web host whose given you a shell account, and you want to verify his claims on the hardware :P

Also, can you sit in front of the computer (console) or do you only have a shell account?

No I only have access via FTP and MySQL (phpMyAdmin) accounts. Not any ssh I have PHP/HTTP/MySQL running on the server and yes I want to verify the hardware

You might want to check to see if the server is running SNMP. If it is, you can use SNMP to query for the information you're looking for.

Another option would be, if you can put cgi's or your own php apps on the server, you could use that to query a command line application for the server information. Depending on the type of unix it is, the commands would be different.
