Memory Upgrade Module

Your LifeBook notebook comes with 256 MB of on-board
high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM,
PC2100-type, DDR, 266 MHz) factory installed. To
increase your LifeBook notebook's memory capacity, you
may install an additional memory upgrade module. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM)
SDRAM module. To ensure 100% compatibility,
purchase the SDRAM module only from the Fujitsu web
store at: http://www.computers.us.fujitsu.com.
Fujitsu highly recommends that only
memory modules purchased from Fujitsu
or recommended by Fujitsu be installed.
The installation of incompatible memory
modules can cause numerous problems
which could result in loss of data.
