Effects of increasing memory

When random access memory (RAM) increases, the operating

system increases the hard drive space reserved for the

hibernation file.

If you experience problems with hibernation after increasing

memory, verify that the hard drive has enough free space to

accommodate a larger hibernation file.

To display the amount of space required by the hibernation file:

» Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and

Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab.

To display the amount of memory in the system:

■ Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and

Maintenance > System > General tab.

– or –

■ Press fn+esc.

To display the amount of free space on the hard drive:

1. Select Start > My Computer.

2. Right-click the primary hard drive listing, and then click

Properties.
