Adding Memory
The motherboard contains 168-pin DIMM
(dual-inline memory module) sockets; the
exact number of sockets depends on which
model you have. You can install these types
of DIMMs in the system:
n
64 MB SDRAM
n
128 MB SDRAM
n
256 MB SDRAM
All installed memory modules must be 168-
pin unbuffered SDRAM (synchronous
dynamic random access memory) DIMMs
and compliant with the Intel
®
PC SDRAM
Unbuffered DIMM Specification
.
The HP Pavilion ships with one or more
DIMMs, but you can replace the existing
DIMM(s) with higher capacity ones.
