Okay... if your talking about RAM or memory.. then yes. Press.... Windows Key and Pause/Break. That will bring up the Computer Management Council. Look at the bottom by the Okay and Cancel Buttons... it'll tell you the amount of RAM or memory that your computer has.
If you're talking about Hard drive space on your Hard drive... then click on Start and click on My Computer. Then highlight the C: drive and to your left you'll see a pie. It'll tell you how much has been used up and how much is free.
Hope this helped.

Sure, Right click on the My Computer Icon on the desktop and then click Properties the amount of Memory should be listed there near or at the end, it should have RAM after the amount.

1. click my computer
2. click 1x in your drive (in my computer at the left side will show you how much memory in that drive in GB)
3. if no 2 doesn't work, right click on the drive
4. chose properties
good luck

right click on my computer and click properties,at the bottom of the system properties box will be your actual system ram(in megabytes(mb))
to check how much avalible memory is avalible go to start>run>type dxdiag then enter
on the dialog box it will show you your actual memory and your avalible memory,also you can see your page file(virtual memory)
virtual memory is a portion of the hard drive windows uses as if it were actually ram(memory)
i hope thats helped you

Only one of them worked for me. But it doesnt tell me how much Im using or how much is left.

Right-click on "My Computer" on the desktop or in the Start Menu and then click "Properties". It should tell you how many MB of RAM you have.
