38 Chapter 3 Boost Your Memory
Making Sure Your iMac Recognizes the New Memory
After installing memory, check whether the computer recognizes the new memory.
To check the memory installed in your iMac:
1 Start up your iMac.
2 When you see the Mac OS desktop, choose Apple () > About This Mac.
You’ll see the total amount of memory installed in your iMac. For a detailed view of the
amount of memory installed, open System Profiler by clicking More Info.
If your iMac doesn’t recognize the memory or doesn’t start up correctly, shut it down
and check the installation instructions again to make sure that the memory is
compatible with your iMac and that the memory is installed correctly. If you still have
problems, remove the memory and consult the support information that came with
the memory or contact the vendor who provided the memory.
