Two ways to see how much memopry is installed in a computer is the general tab and on the computer.
Start->right click on My computer->Properties and the window "Properties" you will see amount of memory installed on your computer.
Many of the memory manufacturer websites have tools which will scan your computer and let you know how many memory modules and the size which are installed. There are also programs which you can download which will tell you the same thing. The other option is to open your computer and determine the number of memory modules that are installed, normally the memory modules will all be the same size. To ensure the size of the memory modules you should remove them and read the labels.
Most handhelds have 64 MB to 16 GB of memory installed, but this is usally expandable.
Assuming you have Windows 7, you go to the start menu at the very left corner, you go and right-click the "Computer" button on the right side, then you look under "Installed memory (RAM):" to see how much memory you have.

Google desktop consistently uses around 320M of RAM once installed which is a fairly high amount. Most computer users cannot spare that much memory all of the time.
You can find out how much RAM (memory) is on your computer by checking the System Information dialog box to see the installed physical memory, or you can go to Control Panel. The amount of RAM you need depends on the operating system you are using. You also should consult your owners manual which will show you the number of slots on how much RAM it will accept.
I was able to install 1.5 gigs of ram. I tried to upgrade to 2 gigs, but the computer would not recognize it.

If one is finding that it is necessary to upgrade the memory of one's PC one must first find out how much memory the computer has and how much is needed. One then can determine how much memory can be added and it would then be installed by putting into the slots that are available for RAM. For more detailed information for Windows based PC's one can view the Microsoft website.
It all depends on how much you buy it with!
That depends. The "commit charge" is the maximum amount of physical and virtual memory available on your computer. Your computer will have a certain amount of physical memory (RAM) installed in it; each program that's opened uses a certain amount of memory. If your computer needs more memory it uses part of your hard disk that's called a "paging file"; it's kind of like a reserve gas tank as far as memory goes. This is also called "virtual memory". So, if you had 1 gigabyte of memory installed and your paging file size was 2 gigabytes, your total "commit charge" would be 1 gig + 2 gig for a total of 3 gigabytes, or 3000000K. So, for your numbers to go down like that, either your paging file size was reduced or the amount of physical memory in your system was reduced. You'd need to know how much memory was installed before your computer got repaired, and what the technician did when he/she repaired your computer. Did they remove any memory? Did they swap out the motherboard (the "guts" of the computer) with one that had less memory installed? OR for some reason did they just reduce the size of the paging file? Answering those questions will tell you what happened.
