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 7: 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):".
Windows XP: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Settings -> Control Panel, then double-
clicking the System icon. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory under "Computer:"
Windows Vista: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] -> Control Panel -> System and
Maintenance -> System. The amount of memory is displayed next to "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.
