Making Sure Your Computer Recognizes the New Memory
After installing additional memory in your PowerBook, check whether the computer
recognizes the new memory. Do the following:
1 Start up your computer.
2 When you see the Mac OS desktop, choose About This Computer from the Apple (K) menu.
A window shows the total amount of memory in the computer.
The total includes the amount of memory that originally came with the computer plus the
new memory you added. For a more detailed breakdown of the amount of memory installed
in your computer, choose Apple System Profiler from the Apple (K) menu.
If the memory is not recognized or your computer does not start up correctly, shut down
your PowerBook and check the instructions again to make sure that the memory you
installed is compatible with this PowerBook and that it is installed correctly. If you are still
having problems, remove the memory and consult the service and support information that
came with your computer for instructions on how to contact Apple for service.
