Hardware Upgrades and Replacements

Memory

The notebook has 2 memory slots. Depending on your notebook
model, either one or both memory slots might contain a
replaceable memory module.

Increasing Memory

You can increase the amount of RAM (random access memory)
in the notebook by adding memory modules to vacant memory
slots or by replacing installed memory modules.
When RAM is increased, the Windows operating system
increases the hard drive space reserved for the hibernation file.
Before you increase RAM, it is recommended that you verify
that your hard drive has enough free space for the larger
hibernation file.
■
To display the amount of RAM in the system:
In Windows, select Start > Help and Support.
■
To display both the amount of free space on your hard drive
and the amount of space required by the hibernation file:
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Performance
and Maintenance > Power Options icon > Hibernate tab.
✎
The amount of free space on your hard drive is determined by
the amount of space occupied by QuickPlay software as well as
by the amount of space occupied by your Windows software
and data files. QuickPlay software is installed in a QuickPlay
partition on your hard drive.
