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] -> Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon. The amount of memory is displayed on the main System window.

There may be a variation between the actual memory size and what is displayed. This is due to the fact that your system uses a video graphics chip which dynami- cally allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance. Up to 224 MB of memory is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT).

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.)
