 Go to the Resources tab and look at the graph/indicators (short topic).
 Point to resources about memory problems. Maybe mention how you can find
 which processes are using the most memory.
 </comment>

To check the current memory usage of your computer:

<steps>
 <item>
 Click the <gui>Resources</gui> tab.
 </item>
 </steps>

<gui>Memory and Swap History</gui> displays a running line graph for
 memory and swap as a percentage of the total available. These are plotted
 against time, with the current time at the right.

<note style="tip">
 The color of each line is indicated by the pie graphs below. Click the
 pie graph to change the color of the line graph.
 </note>

The <gui>Memory</gui> pie graph shows memory usage in
 <link xref="units">GiB</link> and as a percentage of the total available.

To change the <gui>update interval</gui>:

<steps>
 <item>
 Click
 <guiseq><gui>System Monitor</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq>.
 </item>
 <item>
 Click the <gui>Resources</gui> tab.
 </item>
 <item>
 Enter a value for <gui>Update interval in seconds</gui>.
 </item>
 </steps>
