Don't know what os you are running, but under os 8...you should see BUILT IN
MEMORY, with an arrow to click...if you click on that arrow, it will open
like a folder, and tell you what chips are in there...
Hope this helps...otherwise, it's pretty easy to open the 1400...even I can
do that...I am not techie at all...the ram cards should be marked with their
size...
