Checking the Memory CapacityOnce 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 XP: Check the memory capacity by clicking [Start] > Settings > Control Panel > System. Select the General tab and check the amount of memory above the [Support Information] button.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. (If you are in Classic View, access the System icon directly from the Control Panel.)There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is possible if your system is configured with an integrated graphics media accelerator which dynamically allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance.

remove the module from the
slot by lifting it up and pulling it
away from your notebook.
