Upgrading and Maintaining Your VAIO Digital Studio Computer

Adding Memory

In order to increase your computer's memory, you may need to remove
one of the factory-installed DIMMs and replace it with one of greater
capacity. For details, see the V AIO Digital Studio Computer Reference
Manual, which is available at Sony's website at http://www.sony.com/

For memory upgrades, use only 3.3V unbuffered 4-clock 64-bit 100 MHz
SDRAM DIMM module Rev1.0. For more information on Digital Studio
Computer compatible memory, call Sony at 1-888-4SONYPC (1-888-476-
