1 GB of RAM has no effect on T41p performance

I have just installed 1 GB of Kingston RAM for my T41p 2373 GGG. The part number is KTM-TP9828/1G which is equivalent to IBM p/n 31P9834. I'm pretty sure it is installed correctly.

The question is should I have to do anything else after installation for it to work? i.e. do I need to activate it in some way? I've noticed that it doesn't appear in the Device Manager list.

The T41p originally had 512 mb RAM and now it has 3 times that so i should have noticed an improved performance. Word documents, for example, open no more quickly than before and graphics intensive software is no quicker either.

Have I been conned?
