If you are a Windows user, simply right-click on “My Computer” icon and select “Properties”. The total RAM is displayed on the “General” tab.

If you are an AppleMac user, open the Apple menu by clicking on the little apple in the left upper corner of your screen. Choose either “About This Macintosh” or “About This Computer” and look for the “Total Memory Line”.

For both instances, if the figure is expressed in kilobytes (K), divide it by 1024 to give you the total RAM in megabytes.
