Increasing Memory

You can increase the amount of RAM (random access memory)
in the notebook with an optional PC Card or with optional
memory boards.
The notebook has two memory slots. Each slot supports a
PC2100-compliant 128-Megabyte, 256-Megabyte, or
512-Megabyte DDR memory board.

Displaying Memory Information

When RAM is increased, the operating system increases the hard
drive space reserved for the hibernation file.
If you experience problems with Hibernation after increasing
RAM, verify that your hard drive has enough free space for the
larger hibernation file.
