Installing additional memory (optional)
Your computer comes with enough memory to run most of
today's popular applications. You may want to increase the
computer's memory if you use complex software or process
large amounts of data.
Additional memory comes in 128 MB and 256 MB modules.
There are two memory slots. Your system may have both
slots occupied.
You need a standard Phillips no. 1 screwdriver to install a
memory module.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging the computer's screws, use a
standard Phillips no. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.
If the computer is on, begin at step 1; otherwise, skip to step
4.
