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:”.
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 128 MMB.
■
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.
