Making Sure Your Computer Recognizes the New Memory

After installing additional memory in your PowerBook, check whether the computer recognizes the new memory.

1Start up your computer.

2When you see the Mac OS desktop, choose Apple (K) > About This Mac from the menu bar.

The dialog that appears shows the total amount of memory installed in the computer. For a more detailed breakdown of the amount of memory installed in your computer, click the More Info button.

If the memory is not recognized or your computer does not start up correctly, shut down your PowerBook and check the instructions again to make sure that the memory you installed is compatible with this PowerBook and that it 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.
