Upgrading the System Memory
Many applications will generally run faster when the computer’s
dynamic memory capacity is increased. The computer provides two
DDR memory sockets. There is one located underneath the System
Device Cover and another one located underneath the keyboard.
You can increase the amount of memory by replacing the existing
one with a dual inline memory module (commonly known as
SO-DIMM) of a higher capacity. The SO-DIMM can be 128MB,
256MB, or 512MB in capacity. The SO-DIMM is of type DDR1 or
DDR2 SDRAM, has 200 pins and runs on 2.5V. The SO-DIMM
should be PC 3200, PC 4200, PC2 3200, and PC2 4200 compliant.
Warning: Memory upgrade is a delicate process. Please observe the following
instructions carefully or have a qualified technician install it for you. Damages due to
mishandling of this procedure are NOT covered by the manufacture’s warranty.
Warning: Changing memory while your computer is in suspend or power-saving
mode may cause permanent damage to the hardware. Make sure you turn off the
power and unplug the AC cord before proceeding with a memory upgrade.
Warning: You should only use the DIMM module that is approved by the reseller
or the manufacturer; otherwise the system may become unstable.
