Checking the Computer Recognition of
New Memory Capacity
When you have changed RAM capacity by
adding or removing a RAM Module, be sure to
check that your notebook has recognized all of
the memory. When you turn the power on to
your notebook for the first time after making
the change check the display while the system
is booting. Memory size and extended memory
size is displayed briefly on the screen. Example:
A system with the basic 8MB of RAM displays
the following:
640K System Memory, 7168K Extended
M e m o r y
When you have installed additional memory,
the display should change. For example for:
Total RAM System Extended
Installed Memory Memory
16 MB 640 KB 15360K
24 MB 640 KB 23552K
32 MB 640 KB 31744K
40 MB 640 KB 39936K
48 MB 640 KB 48128K
72 MB 640 KB 72704K
