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, then (while in Category view) clicking
the System and Security icon. Select the System icon and check the amount of memory next to “Installed
memory (RAM):”.
The actual memory size and what is displayed may vary. This is possible if your system is configured with
a graphics controller 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 83.
