Memory Upgrade Module; Installing A Memory Module - Fujitsu Lifebook N6010 User Manual

Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook notebook has two memory slots, and the
system comes with 256 MB, 512 MB, or 1 GB of factory-
installed memory. If you have a module installed in only
one slot, you can increase your LifeBook notebook's
memory capacity by installing another memory upgrade
module in the empty slot or by increasing the size of the
single installed module. The minimum amount of
memory in your system is 256 MB; the maximum
amount is 2 GB (two 1 GB modules).
Your notebook supports dual-channel memory. Dual-
channel memory can have a significant effect upon your
system's performance. In order to support dual-channel
memory, two DIMM modules must be installed in your
computer.
Memory upgrades must be PC2700 DDR333 SO-DIMM
modules. To ensure 100% compatibility, we recommend
that you only purchase additional memory from the
Fujitsu on-line accessory store at:
