Increasing Memory
You can increase the amount of RAM (random access memory)
in the notebook with an optional HP-approved memory module.
The notebook memory slot supports one 128-MB, 256-MB,
512-MB, or 1024-MB memory module.
Some notebook models ship with a vacant memory slot. On other
models the memory slot contains a preinstalled memory module
that can be replaced at any time.
Displaying Memory Information
When RAM is increased, the operating system increases the hard
drive space reserved for the hibernation file.
If you experience problems with Hibernation after increasing
RAM, verify that your hard drive has enough free space for the
larger hibernation file.
■ To display the amount of RAM in the system:
Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance icon > System icon > General tab.
■ To display the amount of free space on your hard drive,
double-click My Computer and right-click the hard drive and
select properties.
■ To display the amount of space required by the
hibernation file:
