System Memory
System Memory displays the total amount of synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM)

displayed changes if you install or remove a memory module.

System Primary displays the current status of the primary hard-disk drive password and allows you to
assign or change this password.
Settings for this option are:
Disabled (the default) — Indicates that no primary hard-disk drive password is assigned
Enabled — Indicates that a primary hard-disk drive password is currently assigned

additional forms of protection, such as data encryption programs or PC Cards with encryption
features.
