Installing additional memory (optional)
Your computer comes with enough memory to run most of
today’s popular applications. You may want to increase the
computer’s memory if you use complex software or process
large amounts of data.
Additional memory comes in 64 MB, 128 MB, and 256 MB
modules. You can install a maximum of two modules in your
computer’s expansion memory slots, located on the bottom of
your computer.
You need a standard Phillips no. 1 screwdriver to install a
memory module.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a
standard Phillips no. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.
If you are adding memory after you have started to use the
computer, begin at step 1, otherwise skip to step 2.
