- 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.
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 7:
Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> System. The
amount of memory is displayed next to “Installed 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.
IF THE TOTAL MEMORY DISPLAYED IS INCORRECT, CHECK THAT YOUR MEMORY UPGRADE MODULE IS
PROPERLY INSTALLED. (IF THE MODULE IS PROPERLY INSTALLED AND THE CAPACITY IS STILL NOT
CORRECTLY RECOGNIZED, SEE TROUBLESHOOTING ON page 88.
