Removing an SDRAM Module
The notebook has no SDRAM built into its motherboard, but has two slots for removable SDRAM modules in a compartment on the bottom of the unit. (One of these slots contains a module installed at the factory). You can use these slots to expand your unit’s RAM. Use HP PC133 SDRAM modules only, or your notebook will not boot up.
