Memory
Standard
667 MHz or 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM; two slots supporting dual channel
memory
1024 MB or 2048 MB
Maximum
Upgradeable to 8192 MB with 4096 MB SODIMMs in slots 1 and 2
Dual-channel
Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same
size and speed in both memory slots.
NOTE:
Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we
recommend HP branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system
will perform at the lower memory speed. Full availability of 4 GB or more of memory requires
Windows Vista Business 64-bit or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of
usable memory is dependent upon your configuration, so that above 3 GB all memory may not be
available due to system resource requirements.

* The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compliance with IEEE standard 802.3ab
for Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual operating speed of 1 Gb/s. For high-speed
transmission, connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.
** Designed for downloads from 56K modem compliant sources. Maximum achievable download
transmission rates currently do not reach 56 KB/s, and will vary with line conditions. Modem
availability is subject to country regulatory approval.

* The specifications for 802.11n draft 2.0 are draft specifications and are not final. If the final
specifications differ from the draft specifications, it may affect the ability of the notebook to
communicate with other 802.11n WLAN devices. In countries where n draft 2.0 is not allowed, this
capability is not enabled (Intel 802.11a/b/g only).
