    The easiest way is going to CONTROL PANEL > SYSTEM and looking at the specs.

    The amount of total RAM shown should equal the RAM available. If it doesn't (example: 4 GB RAM, 3.84 GB available), it's a sign that some of the RAM is being allocated for on-board graphics.

    Left column of system, you need to click Device Manager then click on display adapters to get the specs.
