If you mean RAM, then right-click on My Computer and select Properties.
If you mean your hard disk, right-click on the Start button and select Explore.
Right click on ( C:\ ) and select Properties.
If you need more RAM, the easiest way for you is to record the make, model number and any other information you can find on it and stop by your nearest Best Buy. Let one of the people behind the service desk pick out compatible RAM for your computer. If you don't feel comfortable installing it yourself, just bring your computer and let them do it. If you feel adventurous, do it yourself.

right click mycomp and click properties should be right there at the bottom how much you have and are using.
to free up some go to start / run type msconfig, click ok
go to start up tab uncheck messengers,video playe's, and other stuff that don't you need to start when computer boots up. reboot computer afterwards. click ok when a warning pops up that you have made changes and enjoy.
anything in the startup tab your unsure of you can search the net by its name to see if you need it to load and run windows.

Start/ All Programs/ Accessories/ System Tools/ Systen Info
If you are thinking about adding memory, a real good website for that is crucial.com. They can scan your PC and tell what it needs. The prices are good, too.
