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 Intel quad-core processor configuration

 

 

with four memory slots – (4) 4096 MB SODIMMs.

 

 

Maximum memory is 8192 MB with Intel dual-core processor

 

 

configuration with two memory slots – (2) 4096 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 Ethernet (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. 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.
