The computer has two memory sockets for 200 pin Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) supporting
DDR 200/266 MHz. The main memory can be expanded up to 1024MB. The SO-DIMM modules supported are 128Mb,
256Mb, and 512Mb. The total memory size is automatically detected by the POST routine once you turn on your com-
puter.
