How to detect amount of memory of Fedora Core 10

[b***@comcast.net]

I have recently installed Fedora Core 10 on my 4 year old Gateway
laptop. It runs fine. I just added another 512MB of memory to the
existing 256MB of memory. After I installed the new memory the system
booted with no problems. How do I get FC10 to inquire about the amount
of memory installed on the system ? (I want to make sure it recognizes
the additional memory). I did some research with google and I found a
reference to something called "memtest86+". Does anyone out there know
anything about this program or any other which can help me accomplish
my goal.

TIA.
