Checking the Memory Capacity

Once you have changed the system memory capacity by replacing the installed module with a larger one,
be sure to check that your notebook has recognized the change.

Windows XP: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-
clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under “Computer:”

Windows Vista: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel -> System and
Maintenance -> System. The amount of memory is displayed next to “Memory - RAM:”

The amount of memory displayed should be approximately the total of all memory modules installed.
There may be a discrepancy which is allocated for fixed video memory.
