EXPANDING MEMORY

Managing Random Access Memory (RAM)

■ To view the amount of RAM in the system, select StartÅ

SettingsÅControl PanelÅCompaq Diagnostics.

■ You can increase RAM with optional memory expansion

boards or PC Cards. For ordering information, go to the

Compaq Internet site at http://www.compaq.com, or refer to

Appendix A to contact a Compaq authorized dealer, reseller,

or service provider.

■ When RAM increases, the hard drive space reserved for the

hibernation file also increases. Windows 98 manages this

increase. If the computer is running Windows 95 or

Windows NT 4.0 and you experience problems with

Hibernation after increasing RAM, verify that your hard drive

has enough free space for the larger hibernation file.

■ To view the amount of space required by the hibernation

file, select StartÅSettingsÅControl PanelÅpower iconÅ

Hibernation tab.

■ To view the amount of free space on your hard drive, select

My ComputerÅright-click your hard driveÅProperties.
