Upgrading System Memory
You can expand memory by installing memory expansion boards.
You can easily upgrade memory by lifting the computer keyboard
and inserting the memory expansion board. To order a memory
expansion board, contact your Compaq authorized reseller. Refer
to the instruction card that comes with the option kit for
installation procedures.
IMPORTANT:
If you upgrade memory, the computer increases the
Hibernation file size to accommodate the additional memory.
When the Hibernation files increases, it requires more hard disk
space.
Checking the Amount of Memory
Memory upgrades are available in the following capacities:
■
16-Megabyte Memory Expansion Board
■
32-Megabyte Memory Expansion Board
■
64-Megabyte Memory Expansion Board
■
128-Megabyte Memory Expansion Board (when available)
To view the amount of existing memory in the computer, click
Start Æ Settings Æ Control Panel Æ double-click Compaq
Diagnostics icon.
IMPORTANT:
When memory is increased, the space on the hard disk
reserved for the Hibernation file is also increased. If you
experience problems with Hibernation after adding a memory
expansion board, verify that your hard disk has enough free space
for the larger Hibernation file. To view the amount of free space
on your hard disk, click Start, Settings, Control Panel, double-
click the Power icon, Hibernation tab.
