To see how much you have you can simply right click My Computer then click Properties. RAM on bottom line.

For a usage chart and many more details for your whole system I recommend:

EVEREST Home Edition

sorry i wrote it wrong. i know how much i have got i want to kno how much is being taken up of it?

If you're running Windows 2000 or XP, you can press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and select 'Task Manager'. Once in Task Manager, click the Performance tab. This shows the amount of RAM installed, the amount of RAM in use, the peak amount of RAM used since you started the PC and also the amount of pagefile ("virtual memory") space that is being used. All of these are important factors when considering whether it's worth buying more RAM.

If you're running Windows 98 or ME, most of that information is available in different places - it's just not on one handy screen.

so PF usage is how much is being used ? 305 out of 512. is that ok ?

Yea thats ok, if you run hardcore games, I suggest another 512 stick, but basic video viewing/email/webbrowsing thats ok.
