Installing memory

When you are using the computer, you may want to increase the memory capacity.

About memory

Your computer uses DDR (Double Data Rate) SDRAM SO-DIMM (Dual In-Line Memory Module) with 200 pins.

Each memory socket can support a memory module from 64MB to 1024MB, and the maximum memory capacity of the computer is 2048MB.

Before installing memory

When installing or removing the memory modules, be careful not to expose them to the static electricity as it can damage the modules.

Make sure the type of memory installed in your computer is the same as the memory you are about to install.

Note:

Use only the correct type of memory module (DDR SDRAM using 2.5V).

Different models of computer can use different memory modules.

DDR memory has higher data-transfer rate and different shape compared to the typical memory.
