Memory

 

 

 

 

 

Main Memory

Part of the main system memory may be used by

 

Disclaimer

the graphics system for graphics performance

 

 

and therefore reduce the amount of main system

 

 

memory available for other computing activities.

 

 

The amount of main system memory allocated to

 

 

support graphics may vary depending on the

 

 

graphics system, applications utilized, system

 

 

memory size and other factors.

 

Slots

Up to 1024 MB memory module can be installed

 

 

in each of the two memory slots for a maximum of

 

 

2 GB system memory total.

 

Video RAM

Maximum 256 MB of RAM is provided for video

 

 

display. (1GB or more of system memory is

 

 

required.)

 

Power

 

 

 

 

 

Battery Pack

Your computer is powered by a rechargeable

 

 

lithium-ion battery pack.

 

RTC Battery

The internal RTC battery backs up the Real Time

 

 

Clock and calendar.

 

AC Adaptor

The universal AC adaptor provides power to the

 

 

system and recharges the batteries when they

 

 

are low. It comes with a detachable power cord.

 

 

Because it is universal, it can receive a range of

 

 

AC voltage from 100 to 240 volts; however, the

 

 

output current varies among different models.

 

 

Using the wrong model can damage your

 

 

computer. Refer to the AC adaptor section in

 

 

Chapter 2, The Grand Tour.

 

Disks

 

 

 

 

 

Hard disk Disclaimer

1 Gigabyte (GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes

 

 

using powers of 10. The computer operating

 

 

system, however, reports storage capacity using

 

 

powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 =

 

 

1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore shows less

 

 

storage capacity. Available storage capacity will

 

 

also be less if the product includes one or more

 

 

pre-installed operating systems, such as Microsoft

 

 

Operating System and/or pre-installed software

 

 

applications, or media content. Actual formatted

 

 

capacity may vary.

 

Hard disk Drive

Available in three sizes.

 

 

40.0 billion bytes (37.26 GB)

 

 

60.0 billion bytes (55.89 GB)

 

 

100.0 billion bytes (93.13 GB)

 

 

Other hard disk drives may introduced in the

 

 

future.
