Memory Upgrade
Module
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with either
128MB or 256MB of high speed Synchronous Dynamic
RAM (SDRAM), 133MHz factory installed. To increase
your LifeBook notebook's memory capacity, you may
install an additional memory upgrade module. The
memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM)
SDRAM module. To ensure 100% compatibility,
purchase the SDRAM module only from the Fujitsu web
store at www.fujitsupc.com.
