RAM (Random Access Memory). Your notebook uses memory as
a scratch pad for all of its internal processes. When your
notebook is turned off, the contents of its memory are lost.
To avoid losing information that is temporarily stored in your
notebook's memory, always save your work often to nonvolatile
media, such as a floppy or your notebook's hard drive.
You can easily upgrade your notebook's memory to take full
advantage of the latest applications and games. Your notebook
can be upgraded to 1 GB of memory using PC 133 memory
modules, available from any Compaq retailer.
