You can increase RAM with optional memory expansion
boards or PC Cards. For ordering information, go to the
Compaq website at http://www.compaq.com, or refer to

or service provider.
When RAM increases, the hard drive space reserved for the
hibernation file also increases. Windows 98 and
Windows 2000 Professional manage this increase. If the
computer is running Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 and

RAM, verify that your hard drive has enough free space for
the larger hibernation file.
