Increasing RAM

You can increase the random access memory (RAM) of the
notebook with optional memory expansion modules. When RAM
increases, the operating system increases the hard drive space
reserved for the hibernation file.
If you experience problems with Hibernation after increasing
RAM, verify that your hard drive has enough free space for the
larger hibernation file.
