Memory is the workspace
for your computer. Data
and instructions are stored
temporarily in memory.
The most powerful
processor and the fastest
hard drive will not perform
well without the workroom
to keep the programme and
data close at hand.
There are several different
types of memory modules.
Your computer uses
Synchronous Dynamic
Access Memory
(SDRAM).
If a blank screen is displayed
after replacing the memory
module, the memory is
incorrectly installed. Repeat
the procedure to ensure the
memory module is properly
positioned.
Upgrade memory modules of
identical type and speed to
match what was originally
installed in your computer.
