Checking total memory
When you add or remove a memory module, you can check that the
computer has recognized the change. To do this:
1Click Start, Control Panel, and then System.
The System window appears.
2The total memory is displayed below the System heading
under Memory (RAM).
If the computer does not recognize the memory configuration, turn
off the computer and remove the memory module slot cover
(complete steps 1-8 in “Installing a memory module” on page 53),
and then check that the module is inserted completely into the
socket and lined up squarely with the socket latches.
From time to time, Windows® will display a pop-up that says,
“Windows® needs your permission to continue.” This is a security
feature to prevent programs or people from doing things on your
computer without your permission. If you were trying to perform the
action, click Continue; otherwise, click Cancel. If unsure, cancel and
try again.
