UPDATE,  have been advised  to upgrade  memory  as vista  takes up allmost 2.0gb memory  is there an additional slot for another 2.0 gb memory  card as i can't find my manual  if so do i just plug it in or does it have to be formatted like a drive

Please provide the product number or model number so that we can look for the memory upgrade information.

Your system has two memory slots. It is preinstalled with 2GB (2 X 1GB). You can upgrade to 4GB RAM by installed 2 X 2GB DDR2 memory modules. The following weblink has the removal and replacement instructions for your notebook:

Niloc,

I have just seen some internal video and found that there would be one memory slot below the other slot. If you open the memory door on the backside of the notebook will give you the access to the second memory slot. Please remove the memory card to access the primary memory slot.
