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] > Control Panel, then double-clicking the
System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under “Computer:”

Windows Vista:

If you are in Control Panel Home view, check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] > Control

Panel > System and Maintenance > System > View amount of RAM and processor speed. The
amount of memory is displayed next to “Memory - RAM:”

If you are in Classic view, check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] > Control Panel >

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 an integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator which dynamically allocates
system memory to accelerate graphics performance.
