    When purchasing memory to install into the computer, select SDRAM meeting the following specifications and guidelines:

    • Double Data Rate2-Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (DDR2-SDRAM)
    • PC2-4200 (DDR2-533 CL4) SO-DIMM
    • 533MHz

    NOTE: CL4 refers to the Column Address Strobe (CAS) Latency of the RAM. CL4 indicates that the computer will wait 4 clock cycles between a request for a unit of information in memory and the receipt of that information for further processing.

    Information regarding how to install RAM is available beginning on page 68 of the manual included with your computer.
