Upgrading Components

Memory is the workspace for your computer. Data and instructions are stored temporarily in memory. The most powerful processor and the fastest hard drive will not perform well without the workroom to keep the programme and data close at hand.

There are several different types of memory modules. You must install the same type of memory currently in your computer.

Did you know ...

If a blank screen is displayed after replacing the memory module, the memory is incorrectly installed. Repeat the procedure to ensure the memory module is properly positioned.

Tip

Upgrade memory modules of identical type and speed to match what was originally installed in your computer.
