    Try pressing F2 as soon as the machine boots, to bring up the BIOS settings. It should tell you how much RAM there is.
    Edit: sorry, that will tell you how much RAM is present, but you want to know how much RAM is being used, from second to second, is that it?

    press ctrl+alt+delete right after windows finished loading

    In the performance tab under the physical memory section

    Total-Available=current ram use - 6MB (taskmanager ram ussage)

    My startup ram ussage is about 50MB (windows xp self optimized edition)
