Open 'defragment' tool and you will see size and
percentage of all your drives.

Drive free space size is not memory. Harddrives and memory are two different
pieces of hardware.

Start, run, type in: msinfo32, hit enter. When it comes up in the right hand
pane you'll see available physical memory.

For a quick and easy way to check free physical memory, copy the following lines to Notepad and save to your Desktop as FreeMem.vbs. Double-click that file to get a popup report.

'FreeMem.vbs - Bill James
For Each o in GetObject("winmgmts:\\.\root\cimv2")._
ExecQuery("Select FreePhysicalMemory from Win32_OperatingSystem")
WScript.Echo "Free Physical Memory: " & o.FreePhysicalMemory
Next

I believe it also shows up on the Performance tab of the Task Manager.

ctrl-shft-esc, click on the Performance tab of Task Manager. It's listed in
the Physical Memory box near the bottom

You ought not to have *any 'free' memory*, because the system should
find something, however trivial, to do with any that would otherwise be
going spare. 'Free' is a misnomer. It is not true that the system
cannot make alternative use of memory that is 'in use', and 'free' would
better be called 'memory for which windows can currently find no
conceivable use'. Read up at www.aumha.org/win5/a/xpvm.htm
