Hello ,I have a dell dimension 4300 and it came with 128 mb of ram and i just
added some memory of 256 mb it is showing that i have 384 mb of memory but
when i do disk defragmenterit says i haveCapacity 18.64 gb and free space

You've added 256MB of RAM or System memory for a total of 384mb.

When you go to the defrag utility, your looking at your hard drive, which
has nothing to do with the ram memory. The hard drive is where the OS
and any programs you install are stored.

When you turn on the computer, and use any of your programs, the ram memory
is where
the programs (and OS) run (or operate) from...
