80 - Memory Upgrade Module

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.

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

There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is possible if your
system is configured with a graphics card that dynamically allocates system memory to accelerate
graphics performance.
