Viewing the Amount of Memory

1Restart the notebook.

2Click Start on the Windows® taskbar, point to VAIO option, and click “Sony Notebook Setup.” The Sony Notebook Setup window appears.

3Click the “About This Computer” tab to view the amount of system memory. If the additional memory is not shown, repeat these three steps again.

✍The amount of memory displayed in the Sony Notebook Setup screen is not always correct. The video adapter uses some system memory, and that amount of memory does not appear as part of the total memory shown in the Sony Notebook Setup screen.
