If you need to convert it to megabytes (MB), instead of kilobytes (KB), write down the number and move the decimal space to the left 3 places. One that says "Total," one that says "Available," and one that says "System Cache." Look at the number next to "Available." This is the amount of remaining RAM. This is how much RAM is available.įor XP: There should be a section toward the bottom right of the screen that says "Physical Memory (K)" Under this section it should have 3 subsections. Take the number of total RAM, and subtract the amount of RAM currently being used. Go back to the task manager and see how much memory is being used (if needed, refer back to the instructions above to locate again). Under the section that says "System," locate the one that says "Memory (RAM):" To the right of that, there should be a number. Along the right of menu that comes up, locate and right click on "My Computer." Click "Properties." In the window, there are some sections there. To find this, click the start menu at the bottom left of your screen. Subtract this amount from the total available RAM that your computer has. Click the tab that says "Performance," if it is not already open.įor Vista: There will be a black box with some green bars in it with the word "Memory" above it, this is the currently used RAM. For XP, it will bring up Windows Task Manager for Vista it will bring up a blue screen with some options on it, click "Start Task Manager." When you do this, it will bring up a window that has by default either your background tasks or your currently running applications, or the performance tab. Look through that window and it will show how much hard drive space you have left.įor Remaining RAM: Hold down the keys "Ctrl" and "Alt" then press the "Del" (sometimes the key says "Delete"). Right click on your main hard drive (usually called "Local Disk (C:)" or something similar). Along the right of menu that comes up, locate and click "My Computer" (My computer is for XP, for Vista, it is called "Computer"). Hard Drive space remaining: Click the start menu at the bottom left of your screen. Oh, and this only applies to Windows operating systems, not Mac.
It depends on what you are meaning by "Memory." Memory usually means RAM, but the way your question was worded, it sounds like you mean hard drive space.
