The system should have already changed the value in the System Memory cate-
gory to reflect the newly installed memory. Verify the new total.
NOTES: If the memory total is incorrect, turn off your computer and peripherals
and disconnect them from their power sources, remove the computer cover, and
check the installed DIMMs to make sure that they are seated properly in their
sockets. Then repeat steps 6 and 7.
The value of System Memory is given in kilobytes (KB). To convert KBs to MBs,
divide the KB total by 1024.
