    How do I tell that this is installed?

    Is it as simple as "if windows recognizes the 3gb then it's installed"
    ?

    Is there a way I can verify it by going into the environment variables
    and check the system variables for it?


    Thanks

    Go to Programs, Accessories, System tools, System Information. Look for
    Total Virtual Memory, it should say 2 or 3gb depending if the switch is
    actually on or not. With the 3gb switch enabled I usually get to about 2.8
    gb before everything hoses up. Thats with 2gb of ram, I don't know if it
    makes any differece with the amount of ram that you have.
