The obvious answer is to reboot and watch the screen, although some BIOS
don't display the value.

Or do you mean how much RAM hasn't been used yet? Try Graham Utilities
or UniMaint, or one of the freeware memory utilities -- MEM428, MemSize,
MemWatch etc.

I seem to remember a problem with MemWatch if you tried to uninstall it
-- it deleted the entire contents of the directory where it was
installed (programmers do the *silliest* things when they write their
own installer/uninstaller). Thus, you don't want to put it in a
directory with other programs (like I did). (Good thing I make daily
backups.)
