System Resources

Hello,

My new computer is running XP home Edition. I've recently migrated from Windows Me....I was wondering if there is a way to gauge the XP system resources in terms of % free like Me (In the Control Panel / System Tab).

Thanks for your help.

    run your mouse down the the status bar at the bottom, right-click your mouse, left click on "task manager", click the performance tab, look under physical memory, and finally "Available" that is the free ram. you will find XP is much more efficient at managing resources than me.

    you can still do Start, Run, msconfig [enter], choose selective startup, the startup tab and deselect items you don't want to start up automatically.
