Right. The word "memory" is normally reserved for "RAM"--the thing you
have probably have 512MB or so of. That's very different from the
space on the hard drive, which is normally called "storage," "disk
space," or "hard drive space."
Using the correct name is really important when asking for help,
because if you get it wrong, people are likely to misunderstand you,
and you may get an incorrect, and possibly dangerous, answer.
