How do I find out how much RAM I have?

System 7 - Speeding Up Your Mac

Optimize your memory settings in OS7 for a significant gain in speed. In the Memory control panel, set the Disk Cache to 1024k. Turn Virtual Memory OFF.

VM does not work well with System 7; it takes up hard drive space, slows down applications, and contributes to extension conflicts.

Restart your machine for a speedier Mac! If you run out of memory, buy some more RAM for your machine. It's cheap these days!
