Memory Upgrade

Module

Your LifeBook comes with 64MB or 128MB high speed Synchronous Dynamic RAM (SDRAM) factory installed. To increase your LifeBook’s memory capacity, you may install an additional memory upgrade module. You can also replace the original memory module with a higher capacity module. The memory upgrade must be a dual- in-line (DIMM) SDRAM module, however it can be any capacity up to 512MB (total).
