<p>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.</p>

+ <p>RAM stands for Random Access Memory and it is where data is stored on a
+ memory moduly to save and retrieve it quickly.</p>
+
+ <p>To check the current memory usage of your computer, in the
+ <gui>Resources</gui> tab you will find <gui>Memory and Swap History</gui>.
+ This graph displays two running real-time graphs: the one that shows the
+ amount of RAM being used is the one called <gui>Memory</gui>, that shows it
+ in percentage and GiB.</p>
+
+ <p>You can edit the appearance of the graph or set your preferences about it:</p>
+
+ <list>
+ <item>
+ <p>You can change the line colors by clicking on the disc-shaped objects
+ placed below the graph.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>You can edit some information in the graphs:</p>
+ <steps>
+ <item>
+ <p>Select <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui></guiseq> and
+ select the tab <gui>Resources</gui>.</p>

+ <note>
+ <p>When you click <gui>Memory</gui> if appears a pointing up arrow,
+ this means that the processes that are using most memory are placed at
