Note: Because one memory slot is occupied on these products, the 64 MB SDRAM Memory (which ships standard) must be removed to reach the maximum memory of 512 MB. This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations.

Following are memory options available from Compaq:

  • 256-MB 100 MHz Memory Upgrade
 161554-B21
  • 128-MB 100 MHz Memory Upgrade
 400313-B21
  • 64-MB 100 MHz Memory Upgrade
 400312-B21
  • 32-MB 100 MHz Memory Upgrade
 400311-B21

(Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party 256 MB Memory modules, we strongly recommend using only Compaq branded 256 MB Memory modules to ensure compatibility.)
