Adding Memory
In order to increase your computer's memory, you may need to remove
one of the factory-installed DIMMs and replace it with one of greater
capacity. For details, see the VAIO MicroTower Reference Manual, which is
available at Sony’s website at http://www.sony.com/pcsupport.
For memory upgrades, use only 3.3V unbuffered 4-clock 64-bit 66 MHz
SDRAM DIMM module Rev1.0 or 3.3V unbuffered 4-clock 72-bit 66 MHz
SDRAM DIMM module Rev1.0. For more information on MicroTower
compatible memory, call Sony at 1-888-4SONYPC (1-888-476-6972).
