Memory Upgrade

Module

Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook comes with 128MB or 256MB high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) factory installed. To increase your notebook’s memory capacity, you can replace the original memory module with a higher capacity module. The memory upgrade must be a dual-in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module, and it can be up to 256MB capacity.
