Removing the System Memory (RAM)

The computer has two memory sockets for 200 pin Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Modules (SO-DIMM) DDR III (DDR3) supporting 1066/1333 MHz. The main memory can be expanded up to 6GB. The SO-DIMM modules supported are 1024MB and 2048MB DDR Modules. The total memory size is automatically detected by the POST routine once you turn on your computer.
