Upgrade options

Your computer delivers superior power and performance. However,
some users and the applications they use may demand more. This
computer allows you to upgrade key components when you need
increased performance.

Memory is expandable to 512 MB, employing 64-/128-/256-MB 64-bit

Modules). The computer supports PC-100 SDRAM (Synchronous
Dynamic Random Access Memory) modules.
There are two memory slots on your computer, one of which is

memory with a higher-capacity memory module.
