Hello there everybody.
Newbe here.
How would I find out the memory capacity that is installed on my Vista labtop(Vaio VGN-TXN25N)?
Thank you very much.

Yes, or into the search box on the start menu. It doesn't matter how you do it, as long as winver.exe is started. It's a small applet that will show you some basic info including the amount of "installed" RAM.

Technically, yes. Somehow, people seem to think 1000 megs is a gig, but its not. :sarc:

It is though. You can blame the same early computing crowd that brought you the Y2K bug for this misunderstanding.

SI prefixes are unambiguous. "Kilo"-something means precisely 1,000 thereof. Computers work with binary numbers and it just so happens that 2^10=1,024. Someone decided that it would be useful to "borrow" the kilo prefix and 2^10 bytes got (erroneously) referred to as a KILObyte. Same with megabytes, gigabytes, and so on. The higher up you go, the more that 1,024 multiple alters the real meaning. Ever wondered why it made sense to someone for a TB to be 1099511627776 bytes? ;)

Nowadays there's a push on to replace those technically-incorrect names with kiBIbytes ("BInary"), meBIbytes, giBIgytes...
