how do i tell the exact amount of total RAM
on my computer? is it the same number as
when i go into task manager and look at the
bottom right hand corner of the window
and see "Commit Charge: ### / #### "
well, this is just one piece of a larger and
much more bizarre problem, (which i have
posted in general hardware) but when i put
in new RAM, that number to the right of the
slash (which i am assuming is my total RAM)
was 2115M or something around there. this
was a month ago maybe. now as of a week or
2 ago, that total number has dropped to 1517.
whats the deal here? thanks,
GEOFF
 
Control Panel > Performance And Mainenance > System or d/l CPU-Z.
 
well you have to switch to classic view under xp to see the system icon in the control panel but there is an easier way to get to system just right click on my computer and go to properties

Which operating system are you running? (What SatTech said assumes that you're running Windows XP. Windows Vista may not have the same tool in its Control Panel.)
 
they're right, im running windows xp.
but the navigation theyre giving me is
not possible. i can go to conrtol panel,
then system, then advanced, and THEN
an option called performance, but even once
i get here i have no idea what they're suggesting
i do. if you think you can help my larger problem
or for more context, you can look at my post in
general hardware:

On your desktop, right click on the MY COMPUTER ICON and then select properties from the menu and it will show a screen and it will tell you how much ram you have.
