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 memory upgrade module is not
something you routinely remove from
your notebook. Once it is installed, you
can leave it in place unless you want to
change system memory capacity.

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.
