Configuring the BIOS

Installed Memory [128 MB] (display field)

This field displays the amount of extended memory as detected by the system. Unfortunately, this will
not tell you how much is onboard and how much is added to the SO-DIMM socket. You must visually
inspect the SO-DIMM socket if you are considering expanding your memory. You cannot make changes
to this field. This is a display only field.

Video RAM Size [16 MB]

This field allows you to set the amount of memory allocated to the onboard graphics. The built-in
graphics utilizes a shared memory architecture. This means that the graphics chip does not have its own
video memory but instead borrows some memory from the system memory. You can increase the amount
of memory allocated to the graphics chip to improve graphics performance if you have enough system
memory available. 8MB is the default and is recommended for this Notebook PC if only 64MB is
installed. If this Notebook PC has 128MB or above installed, you may use any setting. The configura-
tion options are: [8MB] [16MB] [32MB]
