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 dynami-
cally allocates system memory to accelerate graphics
performance. Up to 128 MB of memory is dynamically
shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video
Memory Technology (DVMT).
46
Intel shared graphics allocates 8 MB of
■
the system memory for use as default
video memory. If your system is config-
ured with 512 MB of system memory,
for example, only 504 MB will be dis-
played in your system information.
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 55.
