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.

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:”.

The system can use up to 256 MB (selectable in the BIOS from 32 MB to 256 MB) of shared memory for video RAM using Unified Memory Architecture (UMA). The amount of selectable Video RAM is dependent upon the amount of main memory installed. (See Video RAM on page 69 for more information)

If the total memory displayed is incorrect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the module is prop- erly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Troubleshooting on page 47.)
