text: how do i find out the stats on my new laptop? i just got a laptop a couple of months ago and my step-dad asked me how much memory it has and i don't know how to figure that out. i know that it had the highest memory of all the laptops at the store i bought it at, and was very expensive. it is a sony vaio vgn-fj170. all you got to do is (if you are using xp):  right click on "my computer" select properties you will find details of your computer speed and ram there
