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.
Windows XP: 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:”.
Windows Vista: Check the memory capacity by clicking
[Start] -> Control Panel -> System and Maintenance ->
System. The amount of memory is displayed next to
“Memory - RAM:”
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 224 MB of memory is dynamically
shared on an as-needed basis using Dynamic Video
Memory Technology (DVMT).
The memory upgrade module is not
something you routinely remove from
your LifeBook notebook. Once it is
installed, you should leave it in place
unless you want to increase system
memory capacity.
Module Clips
If the total memory displayed is incorrect,
check that your memory upgrade module
is properly installed. (If the module is
properly installed and the capacity is still
not correctly recognized, see Trouble-
shooting on page 69.
