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.

NOTE: This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations. Due to the non-industry
standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we strongly recommend using only HP branded
memory modules 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.
