Question

How do i find out how much free ram i have left?

Answer 1

Press ctrl + Alt + Delete keyboard buttons simultaneously. This will open the task manager window.

Then click the tab marked 'performance'. You'll see some graphical representations of CPU usage and CPU usage history. Below that you will see some data labeled "Physical memory'.

The values below this are

-Total Ram on your PC

-Available Ram on your PC

-System cache (not important if you have lots of free ram).

The values are in Kilobytes so 100MB will look like 100000K (just ignore the last 3 digits to easily convert it on sight)

Here's a link that provides more details -

Answer 2

1 - The amount of RAM in use changes every millisecond. It's not a useful piece of info to know.

2 - When asking 'how do I' please always tell us what OS you are using.

Answer 3

Open Task Manager, Performance, under Physical Memory at Available.
