+  <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>
