2.Pull the clips sideways away from each side of the memory upgrade module at the same time.

3.While holding the clips out, remove the module from the slot by lifting it up and pulling towards the rear of your notebook. (Figure 4-15)

6.Replace the screws.

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 double-clicking the System icon in the Control Panel.

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 allocates system memory to accelerate graphics performance.

■The ATI internal graphics used in your system has a preset amount of shared memory, up to 256 MB.

■If the total memory displayed is incor- rect, check that your memory upgrade module is properly installed. (If the mod- ule is properly installed and the capacity is still not correctly recognized, see Troubleshooting on page 53.
