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] ->
Control Panel, then double-clicking the System icon.
The amount of memory is displayed on the main System
window.
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 256 MB of memory (when system
memory is 1 GB) or 384 MB (when system memory is 2
GB) is dynamically shared on an as-needed basis using
Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT)
If the total memory displayed is incorrect,
check that your memory upgrade module
is properly installed. (If the module is prop-
erly installed and the capacity is still not
correctly recognized, see Troubleshooting
on page 47.)
