A gigabyte.  lshw agrees.  For some reason, free(1) says 945 megabytes:

$ /usr/bin/free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:           945        923         21          0          4         96
-/+ buffers/cache:        822        122
Swap:          972        247        724

htop also says "945MB".

The machine is a Toshiba Satellite A100 laptop which I acquired
secondhand.  I own at least three sticks of RAM.  Two sticks of
PC2-5300 (512MB each) and one stick of PC2-4200 (512MB).  The machine
doesn't seem to be able to start up with two sticks of PC2-5300
installed.  So instead, I've installed one stick of the PC2-5300 and
one stick of the PC2-4200 for a total of 1GB of RAM.
