RAM is Random Access Memory and controls how many programs can run quickly and smoothly at the same time. The more RAM, usually the faster the system will perform operations.
If you have access to inside the system (obviously when completely turned off and un-plugged from the mains) you can easily see how much RAM is installed by looking at the sticker on the side of the RAM sticks (or removing the sticks and replacing once the size has been noted).
If you DO NOT have access to the inside, then I would suggest going to Start - control panel - system and it should tell you how much RAM is currently installed.
