Memory Upgrade
Adding memory allows the computer to operate faster, handle
more tasks simultaneously, and work more efficiently with
large files. Users who increase memory demands by adding
additional programs may notice slower operating speeds. Add-
ing memory offsets this slowdown. The Tablet PC includes a
memory card slot for adding additional memory.
Calculate memory size by adding the size of the memory mod-
ule to the existing built-in memory. For example: 128 MB (mod-
ule) + 128 MB (built-in memory) = 256 MB Total. The maximum
memory configuration is 1.2 GB.
Inserting a Memory Card
If you add memory to your GD3080, it will automatically detect
the change in RAM (Random Access Memory) capacity when it
restarts. You can verify RAM capacity has changed in the
or in Windows®:

Surge Protection
A large number of computer and high technology equipment
damage is directly related to AC power and telephone line
problems. These problems can include surges, spikes, noise,
interference, and weather-related problems, which in turn
can cause glitches, hang-ups, crashes, performance slow
downs, and down time with computer equipment. The market
is flooded with hundreds of AC power line surge suppressors
advertising high performance surge protection; only a few of
them actually provide adequate protection.
Selecting the Right Surge Protection
Consider the level of quality you need when selecting a surge
suppressor. This depends on factors such as surge environ-
ment, the type of equipment to be protected, and the quality of
the electrical wiring and service.
Surge Environment
Surge environment refers to the damage potential from electri-
cal surges in a particular geographical area. A high quality
suppressor should be used if there is frequent lightning activity
in the area and the location service is fed by overhead utility
poles.
