Increasing Memory

I recently bought a new memory board to increase my computers memory. I just
installed it but afterwards starting questioning myself as to if there was
anything special that I needed to do before installing it? I had a 32mb
already in it and added a 128 mb to make it a total of 160mb.

Re: Increasing Memory

As long as you loaded the memory into the right slots (check HP documentation),
the memory will work just fine. If you run dmesg right after boot time, or
look at the top of /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log to see how much memory the system
thinks it has.

One thing you'll want to do is verify that you have enough swap space - it's
recommended to use at least 2 times the amount of physical memory on the system
(320Mb for your system)
