Memory Upgrade Module

Your LifeBook notebook comes with 256 MB of on-board
high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM,
PC2100-type, DDR, 266 MHz) 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: http://us.fujitsu.com/computers.
