Use Task Manager, Processes Tab, make sure the
Mem Usage column is visible. From here you can
see your memory map.

250 Megabytes of used Ram is about normal for a
fully installed XP system, the remaining will be used
for the system cache. Remember, Windows XP is
designed to run in as small a memory footprint as
possible. 512 is plenty, unless you have multimedia
applications that require more.
