I had a tech look at my comp to make sure I had enough memory to install a program I wanted.
He brought up a pie chart showing how much memory I had
How do I find this pie chart?

OK, you have Windows XP. Right Click on the MyComputer Icon and pick PROPERTIES. This will show you how much RAM that you have installed in your computer. If you don't have 512MB at this point, you need more. Visit http://www.coastmemory.com and look up your computer model and see what it came with and how much your computer will take.
Right Click on your C drive and pick Properties. You can see how much space it has, how much is uses and how much free space you have. You really should have at least 1GB of free space.
Use Disk Cleanup from the System Tools section, under Accessories. Then Right Click on your C drive, pick Properties and go to the TOOLS section. Click CHECK NOW and check both tests. Restart your computer and let the whole test run. After it has started up, then pick DEFRAG to defragment the files on your C drive.
Alway check the status and update your anti-virus programs. Run full system scans at least once a week.
You should have an anti-spyware solution on your computer. I recommend that you go to http://www.download.com and get AD-AWARE and SpyBot Search & Destory. Install, run, update and scan your computer with both programs.
This will help keep you safe and running faster.
Good Luck and Happy Computing!

The technician was showing you a pie chart of your hard drive to determine whether there is enough free space to install the program. Go to Start > My Computer > Right click on C: drive > click on Properties. You can also use this method to check the free space of other drives.

There is not Pie chart for the memory of your computer. Are you sure he wasn't talking and showing you a pie chart of the available hard drive space you needed to install a program. You can open your my computer and right click your c drive or the drive in question and properties it will show used hard drive and unused hard drive space in a pie chart...Thanks
