Increasing memory
Increasing memory capacity is an effective way to make programs
run faster. Your dealer can increase the amount of memory in your
computer by installing a small outline dual inline memory module
(SoDIMM), available as an option.
Different capacities of SoDIMM are available.
Notes:
1. If you changed the memory installed in the computer, you need
to create a new hibernation file. To create the hibernation file
the Online User's Guide.
