ebowe,
There is no value in XP which is comparable to free resources in the Windows 9X family. XP manages memory much differently. You can obtain an idea of how much of your memory is being used by going to Ctrl-Alt-Delete and looking at the Commit/Charge figure in the lower right.
The first number (the numerator) represents your current total commit charge —the total amount of physical and virtual memory in use by all running processes. (Virtual memory is memory backed by your page file.) The denominator represents your total available memory, physical and virtual. By itself, this number will only tell you whether you’re about to run completely out of memory—in other words, when commit charge is nearly equal to available memory.
