Memory is the workspace
for your computer. Data
and instructions are stored
temporarily in memory.
The most powerful
processor and the fastest
hard drive won’t let you do
much without the
workroom to keep the
program and data close at
hand.
There are several different
types of memory modules.
Your computer uses
Synchronous Dynamic
Access Memory
(SDRAM).
If a blank screen is displayed
after replacing the memory
module, the memory is
incorrectly installed. Repeat
the steps to reinstall the
memory module.
Upgrade memory modules of
identical type and speed to
match what was originally
installed in your computer.

latches found on both ends
of the memory module.
3. Lift the memory module
