how do i find out how much ram my computer has

Asked by Bob

It seems to be a simple question, but I can't find the answer anywhere. is there a command or somewhere I can look, without have to open it up and take one out to find the answer? I don't want to know how much it's using, is the answer I keep finding. I need to know how much it there, the computer has been slowing down, taking minutes to load a page and videos plays sound fine, but the video looks like a flip book and I think that may be the problem.

Please run these Terminal commands:

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install lshw

sudo lshw -short

This last command will show you how much RAM your PC has and what the speed is of each RAM component.

The BIOS setup dialogue should also tell you the total amount of RAM installed.

Can you help with this problem?
