Memory
The computer has 2 memory slots. Depending on your computer
model, either one or both memory slots may contain a replaceable
memory module.
Increasing Memory
You can increase the amount of RAM (random access memory)
in the computer by adding memory modules to vacant memory
slots or by replacing installed memory modules.
When RAM is increased, the operating system increases the
hard drive space reserved for the hibernation file. Before you
increase RAM, it is recommended that you be sure that your hard
drive has enough free space for the larger hibernation file.
■ To display the amount of RAM in the system, visit the Help
and Support Center.
■ To display both the amount of free space on your hard drive
and the amount of space required by the hibernation file:
Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options > Hibernate tab.
