Upgrading System Memory
You can expand memory by installing memory expansion boards.
You can easily upgrade memory by removing the memory
compartment cover on the bottom of the computer and inserting
the memory expansion board. To order a memory expansion
board, contact your Compaq authorized reseller. Refer to the
instruction card that comes with the option kit for installation
procedures.
Checking the Amount of Memory
Memory upgrades are available in the following capacities:

reserved for the Hibernation file is also increased. If you
experience problems with Hibernation after adding a memory
expansion board, verify that your hard disk has enough free space
