      4. It will list Installed RAM that is your Memory.  

      5. Then if your RAM is smaller or greater than the amounts shown in the tutorial divide or multiply based on your amount.  For example for 4.00 GB RAM take the 8192 for 8GB and divide it by 2 you get 4096 OR let’s say you have 20GB RAM then you can multiply any of these by .25 and get 4096 which you know is for 4GB so adding 4096 + 16384(16GB) = 20480 for 20GB

    3. Base = Decimal
