How can you tell how many GB is on my computer? I was thinking about buying a pentium 3 with 9 GB, what does?

Start.... My Computer.... C: drive.  Look at the far left column, scroll down to the bottom, and it will tell you how many GB are used and how many are free on your computer.\n\nIf yours is nearly full, then you would want one that has more than you already have.\n\n\nI♥♫→mia☼☺†

You probably need to update your BIOS, check with the manufacturer to see if an update is available.  Some older motherboards don't like seeing a 160GB hard drive and will limit your storage no matter what you do in Windows.

find the motherboard online and check how much memory it can hold

Installing more RAM in a computer will not necessarily make it faster. RAM (random-access memory) is where applications/games store any temporary memory that it uses. It will also help load-time for applications, because it can perform more start-up operations.\n\nI upgraded my Pentium III 733MHz, that had 96MB RAM, to 256MB RAM. It's much faster than before, and I can run some applications that I couldn't before. But the overall speed depends on the processor, not the RAM. The RAM does not actually PROCESS the information -- the PROCESSOR does.\n\nRAM is used for application start-up, temporary memory, etc. But, if some programs are not ended properly, or they have memory leaks, you will notice a slow-down. That is because they may have allocated memory in the RAM, and that memory, which is no longer needed, was never removed from memory. That is what causes a computer to slow down after being on for so long. =P

You can add/replace larger capacity sticks up to the total capacity that the computer will handle,.i.e.three 128MB sticks=384MB,three 256 sticks=768MB,one 512MB and two 256MB sticks=1024MB,etc.

if you added more details it would have helped you more.\ntheres a thousand megs in a gig so you should convert the gigs into megs.\nso for eg.if you had 24 megs and 1.5 gigs. you would say\n24 megs + 1500 megs (1.5gigs) = 1524\n\n if you meant you wanted to get more space on your computer you should get a new hard drive or  a removable hard drive\nif 1 gig equals 1024 then: 3 gig wouls be 3 times 1024 = x

Download a program called SiSoftware Sandra at http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=92\n It will tell you what model your motherboard is, how much memory it can use etc. If you at least know what model the motherboard is then you can look up the specs, otherwise there is no way of knowing.

go to www.crucial.com\nthere you will be able to find out your memory type\nmost probably a small software will be downloaded\nthe execution of that small software could result in telling you the type of RAM your system can accept\nok

If you open up your PC and carefully remove one of the memory modules, it should tell you what type it is.  For example, it could be PC3200 DDR.  Once you know this, you can go to a computer shop and buy more memory.  Size doesnt have to match, but the speed of the memory does.

I am going to assume that you mean on board memory.  You don't specify the operating system, so I will also assume that you are using Windows XP. If you click on System Information [accessories, system tools, then system information] you will see a lot of interesting data about your computer.  One of them is the total physical memory, and the available physical memory.  You will have more physical memory available when you have fewer processes begin at computer start up.\n\nFor example, with my computer the data shows I have 1GB total physical memory, and 735.30 MB of this memory free.

XP will use up to 4 gb but on most systems only recognize 3.5 gb I personally use  2gb of DDR2 pc5400 667 mhz i have a program that works on intel motherboards desktop control center that monitors usage i have maxed usage around 900 mb so 1 gb is enough  512 mb is a little lite

First, download a program called "Belarc Advisor".  It will analyze your computer quickly and give you a report of all the hardware and software installed, and it's free.  In the report, there will be a section called "Memory Modules" that describes your existing memory.  It will also tell you what kind of motherboard you have.  \n\nNext, go to the website mwave.com.  You can find the memory you need there at a great price, and if you still don't know what you need, just call them up and give them the information from Belarc Advisor and they'll help you out.  I've had excellent service consistently from this company since about 1998.\n\nWhen your memory arrives, turn your computer off and look for a slot that has the same size and shape of circuit board as your new memory.  Install your new memory next to it.  Make sure the tabs click fully into place so you'll know it's seated all the way.\n\nThat's it!\n\nDO NOT buy your memory from a retail store like Best Buy or Staples.  They will charge you well over double what you'll pay almost anywhere online.  Also, don't pay anybody more than $45 to install it, it's a super simple task and no tech has any business charging more than the minimum hourly rate for it.

No it is not a problem.  You prob have an onboard video card that is using that memory.  Most likely the video card is 32MB, but there is a slight chance that it could be 64MB card, but its only using half of its resources.  A good way to tell is go to the manufacturers website and look up your model number.  Usually they divide up the components so just look under the video category and it should tell you the size.  If its 32MB then that is most likely your issue.

Did you really expect to notice an increase in speed when upgrading from 512MB to 1GB ? Answer is: you don't.\n\nOpen the Task Manager and look how much of the memory is still available.\n\nI have also an installed amount of 1GB and mostly there is 50% unused.
