Hardware Upgrades and Replacements

Memory

The notebook has 2 memory slots. Depending on your notebook 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 notebook 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 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 > Help and Support.

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.
