System Expansion686-5. Increasing the memoryIf you run out of memory while using the computer, you may want to increase theamount of memory in your computer.About memoryYour computer uses DDR(Double Data Rate) SDRAM DIMM(Dual In-Line MemoryModule) with 184 pins. Your computer supports Unbuffered DDR SDRAM DIMM of256MB up to 512MB in size in each socket, and 2GB total.Before increasing the memoryãAlways wear gloves to avoid injury when disassembling the computerãStatic electricity can damage memory modules be sure to minimize the staticelectricity when replacing memory.ãMake sure to replace the memory of the same type as the installed memory.ãDIMM is different from SIMM in that it is configured for 64 bit operation; therefore,your computer can operate with only one DIMM installed.ãWindows 95, 98SE, ME supports memory up to 512MB total. Increasing the memorybeyond 512MB in these systems may cause errors while using the computer.NoteãUse a 2.5V DDR SDRAM DIMM.(The shape of the memory may be different dependingon the model) DDR SDRAM enhances the rate of data transmission of the SDRAM andlooks different from SDRAM.NoteDDR
