Standard Features

Memory

Standard

DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (1333 MHz)*

 

 

Two or four SODIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory

 

 

2048 MB and 4096 MB SODIMMs

 

 

NOTE: Four memory slots only on models with quad-core processor.

 

Maximum

Upgradeable to 16384 MB with (4) 4096 MB SODIMMs

 

Dual-channel

Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size

 

 

and speed in both memory channels.

 

* With some processors, memory bus runs at a maximum of 1066 MHz.

 

NOTE: Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we recommend

 

HP branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system will perform at the

 

lower memory speed. Full availability of 4 GB or more of memory requires a Windows 64-bit operating

 

system or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of usable memory is dependent

 

upon your configuration, so that above 3 GB all memory may not be available due to system resource

 

requirements.

 

 

 

Communications

Integrated Intel Gigabit Network Connection (10/100/1000 NIC)*

 

56K V.92 modem**

 

 

* The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compliance with IEEE standard 802.3ab for

 

Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual operating speed of 1 Gb/s. For high-speed transmission,

 

connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.

 

** Designed for downloads from 56K modem compliant sources. Maximum achievable download

 

transmission rates currently do not reach 56 KB/s, and will vary with line conditions. Modem availability

 

is subject to country regulatory approval.

 

 

Wireless Devices

Support for a broad range of secure, integrated wireless LAN and wireless WAN options featuring

 

support for the latest industry standards. Wireless LAN is factory configurable or available as an option

 

to be added later. Mobile Broadband (WWAN) requires a Windows operating system and is available in

 

select countries as a standard, factory configurable feature or as an option to be added later. Integrated

 

Bluetooth is also available (factory configurable only) and can be combined with any of the supported

 

wireless LAN and wireless WAN options.
