Memory Module Upgrade
Your notebook PC comes with either 128MB of high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM
(SDRAM) factory installed. To increase your notebook's memory capacity (up to 2GB maximum),
you may install an additional memory upgrade module. The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-

Do not remove any screws from the memory upgrade module compartment except for the ones
specifically shown in the directions here.
