The illustration on the next page shows the basic computer system you now
have. You can expand your computer system by connecting additional
hardware (such as headphones, a printer, modem, or second monitor for video
mirroring) to its external ports or by connecting it to a network.

You can also expand your computer by installing items inside the computer
cover. Items you can install include additional random access memory
(RAM), a High Performance Module (256K Level 2 cache), and expansion
