Memory Upgrade
Module
Your LifeBook comes with 64MB or 128MB high speed
Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) factory installed.
To increase your LifeBook's memory capacity, you may
install an additional memory upgrade module. You can
also replace the original memory module with a higher
capacity module. The memory upgrade must be a dual-
in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module, however it can be any
capacity up to 512MB (total).
