Adding Memory

By adding memory to your notebook, you can increase the speed of data processing, especially when several software applications are open at the same time.

Sony recommends memory upgrades be performed by an authorized Sony Service Center or Sony authorized agent. To find the nearest center or agent, see http://www.sony.com/pcsupport.

The following procedures assume familiarity with the general terminology associated with personal notebooks and with the safety practices and regulatory compliance required for using and modifying electronic equipment.

The components inside the notebook are extremely delicate. To avoid damage to the notebook, proceed carefully when removing or installing memory modules.

You can add up to 256 MB of memory on the PCG-SR17/PCG-SR17K by installing optional memory modules. To upgrade memory, use only a PC-100 SDRAM microDIMM with gold lead contacts.

Memory modules and other Sony notebook supplies, accessories, and peripherals can be purchased from an authorized Sony dealer, or by contacting Sony at http://vaio.sonystyle.com/.
