2When you see the Mac OS desktop, choose Apple () > About This Mac.

Total memory installed in your MacBook

For a detailed breakdown of the memory installed in your computer, open System Profiler by clicking More Info and then Memory.

If your computer doesn’t recognize the memory or if it doesn’t start up correctly, shut down your MacBook and check the instructions again to make sure that the memory you installed is compatible with your MacBook 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.
